What reading level is A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections On Hope, Lies, Science, And Love book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
– Devil's Chaplain (2003) @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } 4.4 Snake Oil Foreword to the posthumous book Snake Oil and Other Preoccupations by John Diamond104 John Diamond gave short shrift to those among his many admirers who praised his courage. But there are distinct kinds of courage, and we mustn't confuse them. There's physical fortitude in the face of truly outrageous fortune, the stoical courage to endure pain and indignity while wrestling heroically with a p...eculiarly nasty form of cancer. Diamond disclaimed this kind of courage for himself (I think too modestly, and in any case nobody could deny the equivalent in his wonderful wife). He even used the subtitle Because Cowards Get Cancer Too for his moving and I still think brave memoir of his own affliction.
But there's another kind of courage, and here John Diamond is unequivocally up there with the best of them. This is intellectual courage: the courage to stick by your intellectual principles, even when in extremis and sorely tempted by the easy solace that a betrayal might seem to offer.
