What reading level is Philosophy of the Vedanta book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* The principal aim of definition is to enable one to identify an object, and this purpose may be fulfilled under certain limitations by either kind of definition. A tatastha or relative definition, however, may some- times be based on some separable accident of the object sought to be defined, and may thus be defec- tive, although sufficient for the purpose of identifica- tion at the time ; the same sort of inadequacy cannot appertain to swarupa lakshana, for the essence of a thing is constant..., as it cannot lose its essence without ceasing to exist.
72 PHILOSOPHY OF VEDANTA.
The above classification may, however, be objected to on two grounds, (i) It may be said that an es- sential definition is unattainable, because the essence of an object can never be known. Our knowledge is exclusively relative knowledge, so that to talk about a thing as it is in itself is to talk about what we do not and and cannot understand. (2) It may also be contended that if you denude the term essence of the very limited meaning indicated above, relative definitions may, in some cases, have a very good claim to be regarded as essential definitions, for relations > or at any rate some of them, often seem to constitute the essence of an object in so far as they serve as constant and unmistakeable marks of the said object.
