What reading level is Morality As a Religion : An Exposition of Some First Principles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence, ignorance of nature, which modern science has largely remedied, led men to ascribe to " the act of God " innumerable events, even the appearance of Halley's comet, which we now unhesitatingly refer to subordinate agencies.
Why, then, urged Comte, should we continue to believe in even one supreme Cause, when we may hope, with the advance of science, to give an explana- tion of every natural occurrence or fact ? Convinced on social grounds that behef in the Deity had been of no service to ...mankind, he sought for philosophical reasons to justify his surrenderijig the tenet, and thus formulated the famous law which has just been enunciated. If that law is valid and universal in its application, we should have to surrender all hope of Comte's co-operation with what we hold to be rational religion. But it is because I am so convinced that it is that very law, so finely framed and stated by Comte, which makes it impossible to dispense with belief in a supra-mundane Power, that I adhere to 206 THE ETHICAL CHURCH AND POSITIVISM the ideal which I sketched in the beginning, that Kant and Comte will be found to be, after Christ, the master builders of the second temple which is to be the religious home of the ages to come.
