What reading level is The Education of the American Citizen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Plato, and nearly all his contemporaries and successors, were careful to restrict the study of ethics to the favored class of citizens who would get the most benefit from the development of the state, and who could therefore take this collective development as an end. Wise under- standing of justice was to be the prerogative of a few philosophers and statesmen who were to be maintained by the rest of the community. Courage was to be the distinctive virtue of the soldiers who were to carry out t...he decrees of the philosophers and statesmen. As for the rest, let them practise self-restraint, let them learn to mind their own business. This was the sum and substance of ancient philosophy ; authority over the many, collective egoism, if we may so call it, for the few. But we all know how it turned out, that 122 ETHICS AS A POLITICAL SCIENCE the many would not be thus repressed ; would not mind their own business ; would insist that if it was useful to the community for Socrates to drink all night, it was also useful to the community for the " base mechanicals " to drink all night; and the Macedonians came in and conquered.
