What reading level is Evenings With the Skeptics; Or, Free Discussion On Free Thinkers 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Dogmatists reply to this : The man who is in error can be said to live neither reasonably nor happily.
Now he who is always searching and never finding must be in error, whence it follows, either that the erring may be happy, or that he who perpetually searches and never finds does not err.
The Skeptic advocate answers that search is so far from being error that it is the best, nay, the only precaution against error, which on the contrary implies positive and definitive tenets. As the comba...tants seem here to need a satisfactory definition of error, Augustine interposes by suggesting a delay in order to obtain one.
The Academic then proposes to define error as * the regard for the £Edse instead of the true.' His opponent demands whether he will not admit that ' the truth is the straight path of life,' on which the Skeptic e^tclaims that his ideal wise man follows this straight road.
168 EVENINGS WITH THE SKEPTICS.
The anti-Skeptic amends his definition : * Wisdom is,' he says, * the straight road that leads to truth.' Whereupon his adversary tri- umphantly asksy * What road is so fitted to lead to truth as the earnest pursuit of truth f ' Again there occurs a difficulty.
