What reading level is The Tragedy of Education book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The evils on which I have dwelt are evils which dogmatism, as such, tends to produce whenever it encroaches, and just so far as it encroaches, on a man's higher life. To what extent does dogmatism, in the age to which we belong, encroach on the higher life of the adult man ? Not, I think, to any very serious extent, if we limit our inquiry to the direct pressure which the man has had to endure since he arrived at what are called THE POISON OF DOGMATISM 29 " years of discretion. " But if we look... back to his childhood and ask ourselves what dogmatism did to him then, we shall have to give a widely different answer to our question.
I have said that the tumultuous unrest of the present age is sj^mptomatic of a growing reaction against dogmatic pressui'e. This reaction has been long in progress ; but it is only in recent years that Man has become conscious, however dimly and doubtfully, that his arch-enemy is his own dogmatic self. Little by little, first in this direction, and then in that, he has emancipated himself, or is emancipating himself, from what was most galling, if not most hurtful, in the dogmatic pressure which had so long retarded the growth of his soul.
