What reading level is The Moral Obligation to Be Intelligent, And Other Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our true benefactor would tell us how long we ought to wish to live. Or even when science is not so blind, it often sins by applying itself to an end it knows to be wrong. It invents vehicles of con- stantly greater speed, though it assures us that such acceleration is the ruin of our nerves. It invents methods of kill- ing people, and means of protecting them, though it persuades us at the same time — as if we needed persuasion! — that war is an awkward way of serving mankind.
Those of you who... heard with com- placence my criticism of religion ought not to protest if I bring the same judg- ment to bear on science. Indeed there is a fine irony in substituting the service of [66] THE CALL TO SERVICE science for the service of religion as a tar- get for the fault-finder; for science, which began by pointing out the insufficiencies of religion, and gradually usurped relig- ion's place in this matter of serving man- kind, has also, it may be, taken to herself some of the frailties she once condemned.
