What reading level is Anatomy of Restlessness book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Locked within their walls, they committed every outrage against one another as if this were the sole object of their coming together. Diogenes’ deprecation of city life is an early example of ‘cultural primitivism’ or ‘the discontent of the civilised with civilisation’.1 It is an emotional rather than a rational impulse that has always led men to abandon civilisation and seek a simpler life, a life in harmony with ‘nature’, unhampered with possessions, free from the grinding bonds of technology,... sinless, promiscuous, anarchic, and sometimes vegetarian.
But civilisation rarely lacks its champions. ‘All men have civic virtues,’ as Protagoras suggested – ‘a democratic note often in modem times associated with the belief that democracy is a return to the original goodness of man.’2 The word ‘civilisation’ is charged with moral and ethical overtones, the accumulated inheritance of our own self-esteem. We contrast it with barbarism, savagery, and even bestiality, whereas it means nothing more than ‘living in cities’.
