What reading level is On the Genesis of the Sthetic Categories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The third proposition, concerning the social origin of art needs no proof. Grosse, Bucher, Brown, Wallaschek, Hirn, Gummere, and others have brought together the evidence from a multitude of observers, as well as from historic examples. Dance, song, and mime have always been social expressions and implied attendant social satis- factions and pleasures. Decorations, ceremonials, temples, pictures, and stories have evoked social feeling, and have been created and developed with constant reference... to social approval. But, while it is unnecessary to repeat here the evidence for this, it is necessary to analyze what is denoted by the term "social" in this connection. To say that art is social in origin means — (a) First and least important, that it arises — whether as dance, song, drawing, decoration, recital, or mime — when several people are together. Hence, by the simplest law of contagiousness, or "imitation of the emotions, " its effect is not only shared by all, but is strengthened and reinforced, both by the infection from the joy or grief of others, and also by the mere social or gregarious feeling itself.
