There's so many of that sort of thing about the volume almost puts me off straight away. No doubt my interest in philosophy will revive eventually. <br /><br />These days I'm just too interested in history and politics so I'm going to continue with that while the muse takes me. Presently 2/3 through both my Ireland reading and my Drone books. Next is the Titanic and computers as I do like to mix things up a bit to keep things interesting....

I thought you wo...I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I thought you would. I seem to be turned off from Philosophy these days. I have a number of books (both modern and ancient) to read but seem to find more 'important' books to read first. I think I need to make more effort to put some philosophy back in my life...
