What reading level is The Interpretation of History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Simmel^ says : " Nothing is real save the movements of the molecules and the laws that regulate them. No peculiar law can be assumed as governing the sum of such movements when grouped together in a totality." Spencer^ says the same thing : " A totality of men possesses the qualities that can be deduced from the qualities of the indi- viduals. . . . The qualities of the units determine the qualities of the combination." H. S. Maine distin- guishes the society of ancient from that of modern time...s. Previously the sociological unit was the family. " But the unit of modern society is the individual man." Lotze says in the " Microcosm " : " The only active points in the course of history are the minds of living individuals." Schopenhauer (" Parerga and Paralipomena ") says : " Peoples only exist in abstracts ... it is the individuals that are real." Louis Blanc sees only individuals in history : " Individualism triumphed through Luther in religion, through Voltaire and the Encyclopaedists in the intellectual sphere, through Montesquieu in eco- nomics, and through the French Revolution in the world of reality." No citation of authorities is, however, neces- sary to prove that individual men alone, and not a totality of men, whether it be called people, class, society, or humanity, represent reality for the natural history of man, which we have called sociology, or history looked at from a sociological point of view.
