What reading level is The Principles of Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The displacence and condem- nation of all moral persons are inevitable; and their manifestation is equally necessary. This failure and misery and outcast condition of the evil will is its desert and reward.
These considerations apply to merit and demerit Digitized by Google MORAL BBSPONSIBILITT, MERIT AND DEMERIT 175 in their purely ethical significance. They involve no adventitious consequences which might as well be omitted as not ; but are necessary implications of any rational moral system.... In our concrete human practice, these ideas are embodied in somewhat ar- bitrary forms. Particularly, our notions of reward and punishment are often of a coarse, extraneous character which nevertheless finds some justifica- tion in the embryonic character of human beings.
In practice we are not likely ever to escape a certain measure of arbitrariness in this field. The practical necessities of life will compel the adoption of meas- ures which cannot be deduced from the pure ethical conception. At the same time, they will have sufficient basis in the moral nature to ward off the charge that they are purely arbitrary.
