What reading level is The Romantic Revolt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This, how- ever, is apart from the main issue of ethical inquiry. But here, too, Kant is no less decisively idealist. And the enduring value of his moral doctrine lies in his uncompromising rejection of all hedonist or utili- tarian theories ; in his assertion of duty as the guiding principle of man's conduct; in his refusal GERMANY. 329 to explain away the idea of duty by identifying it with a " moral sense, " or enlightened self-interest, or a refined species of pleasure, or with any other of... the equivalents suggested in his own day or since. It may well be that, in his crusade against these specifics, he suffered himself to be led into positions which it is difficult, perhaps impossible, to defend. The assertion that an act ceases to be morally good, directly a sense of pleasure enters into the motive of the agent, leads directly to an asceticism — not to say, a pharisaism — which is intrinsically unsound, and which Kant himself can hardly have intended. The formula, again, to which he reduces the moral law is so abstract as to leave no room for the ex- istence of specific duties, much less for that progress in man's conception of such duties which, as Hegel and others were to point out, is inseparably bound up with the development of his corporate energies, of the concrete institutions of particular communities and states.
