What reading level is The Art of Thinking Well book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The artist who only aims at flattering the passions by corrupting morals, is a man who abuses his talents, and forgets the sublime mission committed to him by the Creator, when He bestowed on him the privileged faculties which assure his ascendant over his fellow- men ; the orator who, by availing himself of the beauties of diction, and his power to move the affec- tions and swell the fancy, endeavours to propagate wrong opinions, is a downright impostor, no less culpable than one who employs m...eans, perhaps more repugnant, but much less dangerous. It is not lawful The Understanding, &c. 263 to persuade, when it is not lawful to convince : when conviction is a deceit, persuasion is a perfidy. This doctrine is strict, but it is true : the dictates of reason must necessarily be severe, when they are adjusted to the prescriptions of the eternal law, which is also severe, because just and immutable.
We infer from what we have said, that writers or orators gifted with splendid qualities to interest and seduce, are a real public calamity when they employ them in defence of error.
