What reading level is Natural And Social Morals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His unconditional law is simple, unembarrassed, incorruptible, unchangeable, because it describes no actual case. It cannot be evaded nor weakened by disobedience, because it is never enforced. It infallibly distinguishes the good from the evil by sheer logic, on the principle that a stick must be straight or crooked ; though, in fact, it is never straight. I do not doubt the value of Idealism to those to whom it is in a manner native, and am far from depreciating the nobility of temper display...ed by many of its adherents. Indeed as a protest against crude Eealism it may be indispensable in our see-saw world. But such a philosophy explains nothing, and can have little power because it is too far removed from fact and observance. The true moral ideal is not a principle or an abstraction, but a model of life, and is most effective when presented in an actual person ; so that on this ground religious ethics are far more persuasive than Idealism.
5 66 NATURAL AND SOCIAL MOKALS Idealism is the mere ghost of Religion, and is no more ahle to carry on the work of Eeligion than the ghost of Brunei was able to go on building railways after his physical decease.
