What reading level is A Brief Outline of the Nature And Aims of Pacifism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such ideas are against reason. They have noth- ing to do with the true nature and aims of Pacifism. Besides that, for many people with strong patriotic feeling, the word, "international" includes a significance of anti-national. " As a matter of fact, the conception "international, " in its true meaning, plays absolutely no part in Pacifism. It only appears to do so because we are accustomed to it in our terminology, and because it is used rather on account of its conciseness and adaptability. ...The Pacifist ideal is not concerned with the relations between nationalities, but between nations, i. E. , with the governments and the people (often of mixed nationalities), for which a term like "zwischenstaatlich, " i. E. , "as between states" or "inter-governmental, " would be more expressive. The union between states that is in question should serve, first of all, to secure for each nation advantages which it could not obtain by itself, or only by disproportionate sacrifices. "Inter- 12 nationalism, " in its modern sense, is therefore not an anti- national, but a very national conception; its true meaning is the obtaining the highest welfare and security with the least waste of energy.
