This book explores political philosophy through the lens of nineteenth century scientific thought. The author examines sociology as an experimental science, drawing on figures like Comte, Spencer, and Darwin. For a learner of Portuguese, this text presents a significant challenge. The vocabulary is formal, academic, and rooted in an older orthography. You will encounter long, complex sentences with intricate logical structures. It is a demanding read that requires patience, but it offers a deep look into the intellectual history of political theory.

Questions about this book
What level of Portuguese do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 4 h at a native pace, spread over 6 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
