What reading level is An Introduction to Political Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chronological succession of Governments. Bk. In.
History shows that in primitive times kingship was ch - xv 104 POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY the rule, probably because persons of pre-eminent virtue were rare. As the number of these increased, constitutional governments were established. With the growth of wealth, and of the degenerate habit of treating polities as a source of pecuniary gain, oligarchies became the rule. But the miser- able avarice of the oligarchs caused the commons to rise in revolt, ...and first tyrannies were established and then democracies. And now that states have grown to such a large size, it is not easy to establish any other form of polity than democracy.
The treatment of political revolutions in^Book VIII is throughout essentially historical and in- ductive. Historical instances are given of all the possible causes of sedition and revolution, and here again it is possible to parallel these instances by examples drawn from modern history. Thus the recent separation of Norway and Sweden, the earlier separation of Belgium from Holland, the difficul- ties of Austria-Hungary, the chaos in the Balkan Peninsula, and the Home-rule movement in Ireland have all arisen from " diversity of race among citizens that have not been welded together into one.
