What reading level is Penal Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The State acts, it is the deep stratum of institutions, in codk formity with the national spirit; the "" myself" acts, it is the collection of habits and of knowledge, of talents and beliefs in conformity with the slowly changing character. Thus, if a crime is committed by reason of habit with the ease of a reflex action, which is almost unconscious, our point of view demands that the responsibility of the agent be involved even more strongly than if it had willingly been done after deUberation.... The classical doctrine of responsibility founded upon free will demands the opposite; but one can see here to what a disastrous consequence it will lead. Besides, one may deny the reality of our person which is original and identical with itself; but one cannot cast any doubt upon the idea which. we have of it, that is to say our consciousness. Now if the theory of Fouill^ on the "force-ideas" is an illusion, as we have seen it to be in so far as it appUes to freedom, it seems to me that it could to better advantage be applied to identity.
