What reading level is The Duty of Altruism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No man ever sacrificed self as the result of a conclusion due wholly to reason. Self-sacrifice, altruism, martyrdom, do not take place as the result of processes of ratiocination. They are achieve- ments of will. Such a will is the product, not of intellectual reflection, but of nature. It is a development according to natural evolution. It is one man's "nature" to be selfish; another man's " nature" to be unselfish. Whether my nature is included in a larger nature as an integral part of it, is... a matter of speculation, having power over those who believe it (a phenomenon of will), but having no power over those who do not be- lieve it. And it is an error to say that such a speculation ought to have power over those who do not believe it; for their wills do not respond to and affirm such a speculation as an ideal by which to regulate their conduct. Such is not their nature, and that is the end of the matter. Right for the individual is that which fulfills his REASON AND WILL 183 nature.
