What reading level is The Control of Ideals a Contribution to the Study of Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In the case of Plato and Hegel, the one does this by idealizing the outer form of a State, and the other by idealizing its inner character. Plato, with the touch of a dramatist, gives us a ravishing picture 82 The Control of Ideals of what a model State should look like, and Hegel, not one whit less idealistic and impractical than Plato, gives us an exposition of the spiritual groundwork on which he thinks a modern State should rest. Plato's "Republic" is a bare, harmonious structure, in which ...stark individuals are fitted together like blocks of marble, and the whole is as rigidly severe in outline as a Greek temple. To be sure in Greek temples there is delicate sculpturing and the lines are exquisite, but this has its counterpart in Plato's work where in the various dialogues many a personality stands out with the subtle grace and boldness of close acquaintances suddenly baring their inmost hearts. Hegel's struc- ture on the other hand, with its buttresses and wings and balancing of masses, is more like a Gothic cathe- dral.
