What reading level is Recent Tendencies in Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is an end in which the effort of a moral agent can reallyfind rest. "[1] In this statement two points seem to be involved whichthe use of the rather metaphorical term 'finding rest' tends toconfuse. If we are looking for the distinction simply of a good actionor motive from a bad one we may point to the approval of conscience inthe former case: this has a permanence--or rather an independence oftime--which distinguishes it from the satisfaction of some temporarydesire. But I do not think that t...his is what Green means. He wishedto avoid falling back upon mere disconnected judgments of conscienceafter the manner of the intuitional moralists. The 'true good' for himseems to mean the attainment, the complete realisation, of the moralideal. Were this reached we should indeed 'find rest, ' for moralactivity as we know it would be at an end. But the moral idealis never thus attained; its realisation, as Green holds, is onlyprogressive and never completed. Consequently 'rest' is never 'found.
