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

It is true, it is only by glimpses that the poetic symbol illumines this ensemble over which philosophical thought casts an even clearness; but it advances the [99] HUMAN QUINTESSENCE knowledge of the true in a no less degree on that account. For science is not alone in de- siring truth and to be willing to limit the domain of art to beauty is a narrow method of observation. Between the true and the beau- tiful, there is no distinct line of demarcation, just as there is none between the beautif...ul and the useful. Artistic arrogance has looked down upon the useful and in so doing has for- gotten that its foundation principle — the at- tainment of the greatest effect by the simplest means — is exactly the same as that which the artist must observe in case he wishes to create a masterpiece. The ponderous, the purpose- less, the superfluous inessentials affect us painfully, whether they appear in a drama, a symphony, an economic system or a technical invention. But, on the other hand, even a prosaic machine may give an impression of beauty, when it acts without visible waste of forces and in the most perfect possible har- mony between the work and its result.
