What reading level is The Utilitarian Theory of Morals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We believe, for instance, that examples of forti- tude do no less good to society, by raising its tone and its character, than is done by direct exertions of benevolence. We believe that a Regulus may be no less useful than an Aristides. We should value the crown of Christian martyrdom at much less than we do, if we did not rate its influence on the public mind very high. Nor is it to be said 18 OF THE UTILITARIAN that in such cases it is the display, rather than the possession, of the moral qu...alities which gives them their value. For in morals it is truth which tells, and there is nothing else which ever does tell for good, in the long run. The real quality must often subsist in obscurity, if it is ever to be brought forward usefully into the broad day of human ob- servation ; and we believe that there is no man who suffers in secret from any moral privation, or self-control, who may not justly console himself with the satisfaction that he is, as a citizen, of a no less useful class in society, than they whose courage or patience, or whose triumphs, are re- nowned throughout the whole world, and who are regarded as models of heroism and imitation.
