Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
I keep coming back to this one. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
Exactly what I was looking for. You can tell why this work has endured. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Happy enough with the purchase.
Added this to my reference shelf. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. The font runs small in the appendices. Recommended with reservations.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. The font runs small in the appendices. Recommended with reservations.
