What reading level is The Need for Art in Life a Lecture Delivered At the University of Manchester book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Athens a man might almost be said to live as much for the state as for himself, although in many ways Athens was the most highly developed individualistic state that the world has ever knov/n.
We see it at every turn, both among the richer and the poorer, and both are remark- able. We are more surprised at the rich be- cause we do not expect much of them any way.
The institution known as the Xetrovpyia (leitourgia), under which the wealthier citi- zens provided for many of the expenses of th...e state, such as the equipment of the navy, by a 54 HELLAS AND THE COMPLETE MAN voluntary offering is an interesting case. It was not like our compulsory taxation, and yet we know of several instances in which a man deliberately spent his whole fortune and ruined himself in the service of the state, and as personal ostentation and display was hateful to the Athenian there seems to have been noth- ing that gave greater pleasure to the wealthier citizens than spending their money in this manner.
We find throughout the state a far greater attention to duties and far less talk about rights than we find amongst ourselves.
