What reading level is Evolution in Science, Philosophy, And Art. Popular Lectures And Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The faculty that held together and governed the Roman Empire, the faculty that sustains this great Republic, started in its career in the humble form of sexual and domestic instinct holding together and ruling the family. The faculty that shaped the marbles of the Parthenon and the Praxitelean Hermes began by molding soft clay into rude drinking-cups and chipping flint for arrow-heads to kill game for food. The faculty that com- posed the symphonies of Beethoven and the operas of Wag- ner began... by singing lullabies to restless babies. And so on through all the arts.
So long as human actions and products are the result and satisfaction of purely physical needs, they do not essentially differ from the actions and products of the lower animals ; but, as soon as they rise above this, the former enter the sphere of ethics, the latter the sphere of art, both of which belong to man only as an eternal being, having no meaning for any other.
Art begins when physical things — clay, wood, stone, color, sound — are used to give expression to thoughts or conceptions, so that they may be reflected back upon the artist, or upon men similarly endowed, through their senses, and thus permanently grasped and realized.
