What reading level is History of Modern Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless, cases of religious "conversion" and the like prove that the eternal reality of the Will occasionally asserts itself in radical trans- formations of character and conduct.
In ethics Schopenhauer distinguishes between two ideals which may be called "relative" and ' ' absolute' ' good. Relative good agrees with the standard of what in England is known as Universalistic Hedonism the greatest pleasure combined with the least pain for all sensitive beings, each agent counting for no mor...e than one. Personally passionate, selfish, and brutal, Schopenhauer still had a righteous abhorrence of cruelty to animals; whereas Kant had no such feeling. But positive happiness is a delu- sion, and no humanity can appreciably diminish the amount of pain produced by vital compe- tition recognised by our philosopher before Darwin in the world. Therefore Buddhism is right, and the higher morality bids us extirpate the will-to-live altogether by ascetic practices and meditation on the universal vanity of things.
