What reading level is The Methods of Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
somewhat paradoxical. For it is generally said that Humility prescribes a low opinion of our own merits : but if our merits are comparatively high, it seems strange to direct us to have a low opinion of them. It may be replied, that though our merits may be high when compared Avith those of ordinary men, there are always some to be found superior, and we can compare our- selves with these, and in the extreme case with ideal excellence, of which all fall far short : and that we ought to make thi...s kind of comparison and not the other kind, and contemplate our faults — of which we shall assuredly find a sufficiency — and not our merits. But si\rely in the most important deliberations which human life offers, in determining what kind of work we shall undertake and to what social functions we shall aspire, we must necessarily compare our qualifications carefully with those of other men, if we are to decide rightly. And it would seem just as irrational to underrate ourselves as to overrate : and though most men are more prone to the latter mistake, there are certainly some rather inclined to the former.
