What reading level is Guide to Stoicism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Zeno, with whom these namesoriginated, justified their use about things really indifferent onthe ground that at court "preferment" could not be bestowed upon theking himself, but only on his ministers.
Things preferred and rejected might belong to mind, body or estate. Among things preferred in the case of the mind were natural ability, art, moral progress, and the like, while their contraries wererejected. In the case of the body, life, health, strength, goodcondition, completeness, and beauty... were preferred, while death, sickness, weakness, ill condition, mutilation and ugliness wererejected. Among things external to soul and body, wealth, reputation, and nobility were preferred, while poverty, ill repute, and basenessof birth were rejected.
In this way all mundane and marketable goods, after having beensolemnly refused admittance by the Stoics at the front door, weresmuggled in at a kind of tradesman's entrance under the name ofthings indifferent. We must now see how they had, as it were, twomoral codes, one for the sage and the other for the world in general.
