What reading level is The Ethical Aspects of Evolution Regarded As the Parallel Growth of Opposite Ten book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Utility has no independent value of its own, but depends for its valuation on the value of the end it serves. Lago's methods had utility, but not value.
No better quality can be selected for illustrating this distinction than intellectual honesty. The aims of the intellect are, in the first place, systematization by means of the two opposite processes of distinction and generalization, and, secondly, to give us knowledge of what will happen in the future. Anything that conduces to these ends is... useful ; what thwarts them is hurtful. Now it hardly needs demonstration that for their successful prosecution intel- lectual honesty is not only useful, but indispensable. And what is meant by intellectual honesty ? Nothing but a refusal to allow other impulses, such as the love of gain, or of applause, or the desire to promote any other end which is not purely intellectual, to interfere with the operations of the intellect in ascertaining and systematizing facts. The decisive superiority of the Copemican theory over the VALUES AND FINAL CAUSES 79 Ptolemaic lies, not in its superior ease in working, but in its greater utility for purposes of system and prophecy.
