What reading level is The Philosophical Theory of the State book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this must always be the case, not merely so long as wills are straightforwardly rebellious against the common good, but so long as the knowledge and energy of the average mind are unequal to dealing, on its own initiative and out of its own resources, with all possible conjunctions in which necessary conditions of the com- mon good are to be maintained. In other words, there must be inertia to overcome, as long as the limitations of our animal nature x exist at all. The State is, as Plato t...old us, the individual mind writ large, or, as we have said, our mind reinforced by capacities which are of its own nature, but which supplement its defects. And this being so, the less complete must clearly submit to find itself in the more complete, and be carried along with it so far as the latter is able to advance. It is very important to note, however, that our mind at its best is very different from our mind at its average ; and it has understood and approved, when at its best, a great deal which in its average moments comes upon it as force or custom from the outside.
