Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. A text you study rather than simply read. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Five stars from me.
Was skeptical at first. A text you study rather than simply read. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Well worth it.
This edition finally does the material justice. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Definitely recommend.
Finally got around to ordering this. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Glad I finally picked this up.
My book club chose this last month. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Good, with the caveats above.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.
