What reading level is Aesthetical And Philosophical Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, effects that only allow us to infer apurely sensuous cause, and that are founded only on the affection experienced by the faculty' of sense, are never sublime, whatever energy they may display, for everytliing sublime proceeds exclusively from the reason. I imply by passion the affections of pleasure as well as the painful affections, and to represent passion onlj-, with- out coupling with it the expression of the super-sensuous faculty which resists it, is to fall into W'hat is properly c...alled vulgarity; and the opposite is called nobility. Vulgarity a,nd nobility are two ideas which, wherever thej' are applied, have more or less relation with the super- sensuous share a man takes in a work. There is noth- ing noble but what has its source in the reason ; all that issues from sensuousness alone is mdgar or common. We saj- of a man that he acts in a vulgar manner when he is satisfied with obej'ing the suggestions of his sensuous instinct ; that he acts suitably when he onlj' obeys his instinct in conformity with the laws ; that he acts nobly when he obeys reason onlj^ without ha\'ing regard to his instincts.
