Finally got around to ordering this. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Recommended with reservations.
This exceeded my expectations. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Shipping was quick too.
I keep coming back to this one. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Great value for what you get.
