What reading level is The Laws of Imitation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is nothing more natural than that those who love each other should copy each other, or, rather, as this phenomenon always begins by being one- sided, that the lover should copy the beloved. But in proof of the depth which is reached by the action of imitation in man's heart we see people aping one another everywhere, even in their fights. The conquered never fail to copy their conquerors if only to prepare for their revenge. When they borrow the military organisation of their conquerors t...hey are careful to say and they sincerely think that their sole motive is a utilitarian calculation. But we shall find this explanation inadequate, if we compare this fact with 2 1 6 Laws of Imitation a considerable number of correlated facts in which the sen- timent of utility plays no part whatsoever.
For example, the conquered do not merely borrow the superior weapons, the longer range guns, and the more ad- mirable methods of their conqueror; they also take from him many of his insignificant military peculiarities and habits, whose acclimatisation, granted that it were possible, would raise difficulties wholly out of proportion to its feeble advantages.
