What reading level is Moral Science: a Compendium of Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scheme of the humanfeelings comprehends, in addition to Benevolence and Self-Love, anumber of passions and affections tending to the same ends as these(some to the good of our fellows, others to our own good); while infollowing them we are not conscious of seeking those ends, but somedifferent ends. Such are our various Appetites and Passions. Thus, hunger promotes our private well-being, but in obeying its dictates weare not thinking of that object, but of the procuring of _food_. Curiosit...y promotes both public and private good, but its direct andimmediate object is _knowledge_.
This refined distinction appears first in Aquinas; there is in it apalpable confusion of ideas. If we regard the final impulse of hunger, it is not toward the food, but towards the appeasing of a pain and thegaining of a pleasure, which are certainly identical with self, beingthe definition of self in the last resort. We associate the food withthe gratification of these demands, and hence food becomes an end tous--one of the _associated_ or _intermediate_ ends.
