What reading level is A Critical Examination of Socialism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus Herbert Spencer, who was its most systematic exponent, opens his work on the Study of Sociology with an elaborate attack on what he calls " The Great Man Theory," according to which the explanation of the main events of history is to be sought in the 96 A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF SOCIALISM influence of exceptional or great men — the men who, in vtdgar language, are spoken of as " histor- ical characters." Such an explanation, said Spen- cer, is no explanation at all. Great men, however grea...t, are not isolated phenomena. Whatever they may do as the "proximate initiators" of change, they themselves " have their chief cause in the gen- erations they have descended from," and depend for the influence which is commonly attributed to themselves, on "the multitudinous conditions" of the generation to which they belong. Thus La- place, he says, could not have got far with his calculations if it had not been for the line of math- ematicians who went before him. Caesar could not have got very far with his conquests if a great military organization had not been ready to his hand; nor coxild Shakespeare have written his dramas if he had not lived in a coimtry already enriched with traditions and a highly developed language.
