What reading level is The Passing of Plato book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Today still, in the courses in the elementary and second- ary schools, the most conservative and Plato-ridden institu- tions that remain to us, there is given a meager place to the knowledge of man and of nature ; that is, the sciences, history, literature, and art. But the time is at hand when that self-sufficient philosophy which so largely dominates the thought in our lower schools must succumb to the move- ments of the times. Then the children and youth, through the very periods of growth a...nd development, when they can best catch the spirit and form the habits of the advanced age in which they live, instead of being systematically hedged in from all contact with it, will be intelligently induced into its spirit, made familiar with its product, and drilled in its methods. When they leave the schools they will be immediately at home in the world about them, and can successfully face it.
Theologians, Hegelians, and Platonists of whatever twist have cause to fear the scientific method; but least of all should the student of the humanities make faces at the scientist, and become emotional, not to say hysterical, at the scientific method, as was recently the case with an earnest student of history.
