What reading level is Science And Social Progress, a Philosophical Introduction to Moral Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

But the usual objection to this is, that this reduces moral science to casuistry and hence robs it of its scientific character. It is a common observation that science can not possibly determine what specifically is to be done in any specific moral situation. Moral situations are too particularized to be amenable to scientific method. They are situations calling for individual intelli- gence and judgment. The most that moral science can do is to formu- late some general, formal rules, which can... be applied in any situation. 2 Hence, moralists, believing the problem of the inquiry into what is good too particularistic for science, have turned to the more general problem of what good is ; they have turned from the problem of what ought to be, to the problem of what the ought is. This relieved them from dealing with the annoying particulars, and at the same time took moral science out of the realm of the relative and problematic and into that of the absolute and the certain. Thus moral science became demoralized into a theoretical or structural science, as we saw in Chapter II.
