I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Recommended with reservations.
Was skeptical at first. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Highly recommend to serious students.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Shipping was quick too.
Was skeptical at first. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Great value for what you get.
This has been on my wishlist for months. You can tell why this work has endured. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Definitely recommend.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. A text you study rather than simply read. Already eyeing my next order.
