What reading level is Truth An Essay in Moral Reconstruction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The man who never knowingly tells an untruth, who even does not profess to know what he does not know and does not overstate what he does know, is trustworthy, is the man of strictest honesty. The honest man is he who, in words as well as in deeds, is clearly himself and does not wish to appear to be what he is not, to possess what he does not own, and to know what he does not know this is the truly trust- worthy man.
Yet how few are there who, though they may never de- liberately or consciou...sly tell a falsehood, are accurate in their statements of facts, careful to qualify these statements so as never to mislead by exaggeration, and ever ready to admit their ignorance? The difference between men of such high standards and their less perfect fellow-men is not only that existing between the literate and illiterate, the educated and untrained minds, the thoughtful and the thoughtless, but between the truthful and the untruthful.
Now we must at once guard against over- of 'Truthful* stating our case as we must admit that, if these Conscientious- mO ral injunctions with regard to truth were to lead to constant or inopportune self -searching and to excess of caution and hesitancy, resulting from the desire to weigh each statement in the balance of accurate thought, it would deprive us of all spontaneity in expression and in conversation, and make of us either tiresome pedants or inarticulate stammerers in thought and in speech, while it would banish from conversation all wit and humour and even all grace, and thus impoverish or weigh down the free 70 Trustworthiness growth and flowering of social life.
