What reading level is Victor Cousin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


How can this independence and this depend- ence be harmonized? On the one hand is the right to think and say anything; on the oth- er, the prohibition to attack or oppose certain doctrines. Cousin hit upon a compromise in which I think he had too much confidence. Philosophy can yield none of its freedom, and the Church none of her dogmas. If I were master, I should escape the dilemma by trans- ferring philosophy properly so called to the University faculties, and by limiting the philos- ophy of
... the colleges to the thorough study of methods and the reading of some noble work, such as the " Phaedo " for antiquity, and Des- cartes' " Discourse on Method " for modern times. Cousin prefers to insist that philosophy and religion have not absolutely the same aim, and are not addressed to the same minds.
152 Victor Cousin.
The aim differs less than he imagines; and the Church, though it speaks only to little minds, does not consent to abandon great minds to the philosophers. Cousin insists also upon the orthodoxy of his doctrine; but the Church replies that the orthodoxy of the master does not guarantee the orthodoxy of his disciples, nor the orthodoxy of to-day the orthodoxy of to-morrow.
