Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Good, with the caveats above.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Shipping was quick too.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Five stars from me.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Recommended with reservations.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Shipping was quick too.
