What reading level is The Ego And Its Place in the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At first sight it might appear as though the modern individualist in negating the natural and social order had fallen into complete passivism, which indeed is the case here and there, as in Wagner's Wotan, Ibsen's Rosmer, and Hauptmann's Heinricb the Bell-Founder ; but the more characteristic assertions of individualism find expression in an anti-social or* immoralistic attitude, as this appears in the self-worship of Baudelaire, and the self-assertion of Wagner's Siegfried and Ibsen's Nora. Th...ere is no want of will on the part of these poets, for they arouse the individual to a supreme pitch of activity ; that which is wanting is the motive which would lead the individual to emphasize his will in its attitude toward the world. The Decadent is wanting in work rather than in will ; he wills himself when he should will his world, hence the anti-naturalism and anti- socialism of his life-ideal. The remedy for this perversity of willing is to be found in both the individual and the world.
