What reading level is Method in Social Anthropology Selected Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The relation between the two divisions, which has here been spoken of by the term "op- position" is one which separates and also unites, and which therefore gives us a rather special kind of social integration which deserves systematic study. But the term "opposition" which I have been obhged to use because I cannot find a better, is not wholly appropriate, for it stresses too much what is only one side of the relation- ship, that of separation and difference. The more correct description would... be to say that the kind of structure with which we are concerned is one of the union of opposites.
The idea of a unity of contraries was one of the leading ideas of the philosophy of Heraclitus. It is summed up in his statement, "Polemos is king, rules all things. " The Greek word polemos is sometimes translated as "strife, " but the appropriate translation would be "opposition" in the sense in which that word has been used in this lecture. Heraclitus uses as one example the mortise and the tenon; these are not at strife; they are contraries or opposites which combine to make a unity when they are joined together.
