What reading level is The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Taking the ordinary terms in their literal sense, we should mis- conceive the fundamental distinction between the intellectual facul- ties and the others. When the former are very marked, they un- questionably produce real inclinations or propensities, which are distinguished from the inferior passions only by their smaller energy.
Nor can we deny that their action occasions true emotions or senti- ments, more rare, more pure, more sublime than any other, and, though less vivid than others, cap
...able of moving to tears ; as is testified by so many instances of the rapture excited by the dis- covery of truth, in the most eminent thinkers that have done honor to their race — as Archimedes, Descartes, Kepler, Newton, etc.
Would any thoughtful student take occasion, by such approxima^- tions, to deny aU real distinction between the intellectual and affec- tive faculties ? The wiser conclusion to be drawn from the case is that we must reform our philosophical language, to raise it, by rigorous precision, to the dignity of scientific language.
