This is my second time reading the book and I actually finished it (mostly). It wasn’t that bad this time, but it was still a bit much. Many philosophy books do seem a bit convoluted, so I probably shouldn’t bash this book too much. Still, I doubt I’d ever read this book again unless it was for another class.
