did not like it
bookshelves: read-in-2015

One of those texts where the author is ostensibly trying to share some very interesting insights into the human condition, yet one can't help but wonder why he only wants people who have studied philosophy or critical theory to understand it. A friend of mine calls this sort of writing "intellectual masturbation", and I can't think of a more fitting description.
Recommended for people who really like Heidegger and sounding smart. Not recommended for naturalists or scientific realists.
