What reading level is Wisdom With And Whims of Distinguished Ancient Philosophers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dionysius, however, did not remain quiet ; but when he had heard what had happened he wrote to Plato not to speak ill of him, and he wrote back in reply that he had not leisure enough to think at all of Dionysius.
But he went a second time to Sicily to the younger Diony- sius, and asked him for some land and for some men whom he might make live according to his own theory of a constitution. And Dionysius promised to give him some, bnt never did it. And some say that he was in danger himself, ha...ving been sus- pected of exciting Dion and Thetasto attempt the deliverance of the island ; but that Archytas, the Pythagorean, wrote a letter to Dionysius, and begged Plato off and sent him back safe to Athens.
In his own country he did not meddle with state affairs, al- though lie was a politician as far as his writings went. And the reason was that the people were accustomed to a form of government and constitution different from what he approved of. And Pamphile, in the twenty-fifth book of his Commen- taries, says that the Arcadians and Thebans, when they were founding a great city, appointed him its law-giver ; but that he, when he had ascertained that they would not consent to an equality of rights, refused to go thither.
