What reading level is Ethics Part 4 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
-This is evident from Def. Of the Emotions:xxx. , and also from the definition of an honourable man (IV:xxxvii. Note. I. ).
Note. - Empty honour, as it is styled, is self- approval, fostered only by the good opinion of the populace; when this good opinion ceases there ceases also the self-approval, in other words, the highest object of each man's love (IV:lii. Note); consequently, he whose honour is rooted in popular approval must, day by day, anxiously strive, act, and scheme in order to retai...n his reputation. For the populace is variable and inconstant, so that, if a reputation be not kept up, it quickly withers away. Everyone wishes to catch popular applause for himself, and readily represses the fame of others. The object of the strife being estimated as the greatest of all goods, each combatant is seized with a fierce desire to put down his rivals in every possible way, till he who at last comes out victorious is more proud of having done harm to others than of having done good to himself.
