What reading level is From Epicurus to Christ; a Study in the Principles of Personality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The deteriora- tion of a state under this condition is very rapid, for, as he says, "When riches and virtue are placed together in the scales of the balance, the one always rises as the other falls. And so at last, instead of loving contention and glory, men 146 FROM EPICURUS TO CHRIST become lovers of trade and of money, and they honour and reverence the rich man and make a ruler of him, and dishonour the poor man." The evils of this oligarchical rule, he says, are illus- trated by considering... the nature of the qualification for office and influence. "Just think what would happen if the pilots were to be chosen according to their property, and a poor man refused per- mission to steer, even though he were the better pilot ? " The other defect is " the inevitable divi- sion ; such a state is not one but two states, the one of poor men, the other of rich men, who are living on the same spot and ever conspiring against one another." The avaricious man is like the state which is governed by rich men.
