What reading level is The Rise of Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His assertion that the human soul retains its consciousness was as incapable of actual proof as was the assertion of Demokritos that the soul dies with the body. His arguments from the general to the particular could only be sound if his knowledge of the particulars on which to generalise was accurate and true. Much as we may admire the ideas which he attributes to Socrates, we can never regard Plato as either a man of science or a man of practical experience. His ideal Republic would he though...t become practicable in time, but it never became so, and it was founded on an entirely unnatural basis repre- senting the ethics of a savage. He proposes to delude the ignorant masses by outward show of religion, and to breed a ruling class like cattle, extinguishing selfishness and jealousy by permitting wives to be common to all of the caste. He thus involves himself 1 Phaedo. " Republic, " Book X.
ARISTOTLE 195 in clumsy attempts to define the limits of relationship, and Aristotle practically upsets the whole of this absurd reversion to barbarism by his remark that it is natural to man and beast alike to pair, 1 and jealously to keep their own offspring to themselves.
