What reading level is The Stoic Creed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Ii. ; Schwegler, History of Philosophy, especially Dr. Hutchison Stirling's Essay in the Annotations of his English translation ; Gomperz, Greek Thinkers (Eng. Tr. ), vol. I. Bk. Iii. Chap. 5.

Even the phi- lological researches of the Sophists, in which they excelled, point in this direction. More still, the Sophists had their own view of the nature of thought. They held that Reason was a powerful instrument for criticism and destruction, but was not competent to reach absolute truth. It is limited in its extent, and deals necessarily with the impressions of sense, which are different to different individuals and relative to the percipient ; so that knowledge, in the strict sense of the term, is impossible, and there is no greater justification for the opinion that one may hold than there is for its opposite ; or, to put it in express sophistic phraseology, an assertion and its contradictory are equally defensible.
