What reading level is Philosophy And Popular Morals in Ancient Greece. An Examination of Popular Morality And Philosophical Ethics, in Their Interrelations And Reciprocal Influence in Ancient Greece, Down to the Close of the Third Century B.C book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By a decree of nature it has supremacy over all other human endowments. The mind alone takes cognisance of the most beautiful and divine objects ; and as it is the divinest thing in us, its energy is perfect happiness.^ If it is the best, it is there- fore the truest part of a man's personality. It is his real self. It is also the immortal part of man, and its exercise is nothing less than a " practice of immortality."- Thus the warnings of prudence, the maxim of Pindar that " mortal things ben...efit mortal men," and the maxim of Sophocles that "mortal nature must be mortal-minded," lose their force.* For by virtue of mind, man is in some sense immortal. We must not then heed these remon- strances, " but, so far as in us lies, be immortal, and strive in all things to live according to the highest in us."3 Such a life is nothing less than an approach to the divine.
" The life of the gods is blessed throughout, and this is true of men, so far as any likeness of the divine activity appertains to them."4 It is not surprising to find echoes of Platonic asceticism in this connexion.
