What reading level is Theories of Social Progress; a Critical Study of the Attempts to Formulate the Conditions of Human Advance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . psy- chological characteristics like anatomical characteristics possess a very high degree of hxity." 1 Further, "intellectual discoveries are transmitted easily from one people to another. Qualities of character cannot be transmitted. . . . The character of a people and not its intelligence determines its evolution in history and governs its destiny. ... It is upon character and not upon intelligence that societies, religions, and empires are founded." Moreover, members of a given race dif...fer little in character. This of course is absurd. And what- ever of generality exists in a group is due probably rather to imitation and nurture than to some breeding in of race character. But what, after all, is this 'character' or 'soul' of a people? "It is precisely that net of traditions, ideas, sentiments, beliefs, common modes of thinking which forms the soul of a people." 2 This is familiar doctrine. So far so good. But can this soul be modified? Yes, and no; it is hardly amenable to moral or climatic milieux ; but it may be conquered ; not by a flip of the hand, it is true, but slowly.
