What reading level is Our Social Heritage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The Belgians asked whether no weight should be given to national honour, international treaties, and the rights of free peoples. " National honour, " Dr. Koster is said to have replied, " that is mere middle-class idealism with which socialists have nothing to do ... Does not historical materialism teach us that the development of the prole- tariat is intimately bound up with the economic prosperity of the nation ? " A Belgian said that the only thing they seemed to possess in common was a st...omach ; but that on the Belgian side there was a heart as well. 1 Darwin's demonstration that human instincts could be brought within the conception of biological evolution increased, both in Germany and elsewhere, this tendency to simplify human motive. The word Realpolitiker, for instance, means a man who believes that the political relation between human beings should be conceived of scientifically in the simple terms of " the struggle for life " ; that any motives which do not lead up to that struggle arc unscientific and illegitimate ; and that there- fore it is his duty, if he feels love or pity for his neighbours, or a desire to take their good into his consideration, to ignore or if necessary to inhibit that feeling and desire.
