What reading level is Rousseau And Naturalism in Life And Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
164.
= Reference should be made to the fact that in style, as in other matters, Boussean was an innovator. French prose, when he first took up the pen, was facile, crisp, incisive, clear,— instance any page of 240 ROUSSEAU who can sway at his will, to varying emotions, the multitude before him. He was, indeed, essentially the orator, whose address to the reason was always made magnetic by the passion with which his arguments were charged. We are habitually, I suspect, inclined to underestimate ...the weight and authority often given to the leaders of men by their mere command of words.
Here is a case which may well lead us to reconsider our opinion. But the ultimate secret of Rousseau's ■/ influence has not yet been reached. It depended at ; bottom upon just one quaUty — his absolute sincerity^ I Men knew — for about this there was no possibility of mistake — that, as Lessing said, he was no "venal -sophist";^ that there was for him a living thought beneath his wildest paradoxes ; that his splendid elo- quence was only the expression of profound earnest- ness of feeling.
