What reading level is Studies Scientific & Social, By Alfred Russel Wallace .. 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Man's duty to himself, as a spirit incarnated in a body of flesh, is purity in thought, word, and act.
In these three words, * Progress,' * Culture,' * Purity,' we roughly sum up man's duty to himself as a spiritual, an intellectual, and a corporeal being." The same teaching is embodied in the following lines, forming part of a long poem purporting to come from the late Edgar Allen Poe : XXI WHY LIVE A MORAL LIFE ? 381 " Sons of earth, where'er ye dwell, Shun temptation's magic spell.
Truth is ...Meayen, and falsehood, Hell, Lawless lust a demon fell." The general answer I would now give to the question, " Why live a moral life ? " is — from the purely Rationalistic point of view — ^first, that we shall thereoy generally secure the good opinion of the world at large, and more especially of the society among which we live ; and that this good opinion counts for much, both as a factor in our happiness and in our material success. Secondly, that, in tne long run, morality pays best; that it conduces to health, to peace of mind, to social advancement ; and at the same time, avoids all those risks to which immoral conduct, especially if it goes so far as criminality, renders us liable.
