did not like it

I cry foul.

So there were many times where the author, literally, didn't say anything like:

"(...) the animal and the NON animal are, BOTH, at the same time and not the same time, the thing and THE NON THING".

But the phrase is way longer and the words he uses are way more complex, so you have to re-read and then read it a third time. And then you re-read the paragraph until you give up thinking

"maybe i'm just not smart enough"

But he used this trickery so many times that i caught on to him.

That sly dog.

One, rare time, when he is being more objective he says that japanese people are snobish, with "their tea ceremony and flower art and nô theater" and stuff. And that made me laugh and think if that's even an appropriate thing to say these days.

I don't know why someone would like to read this and if you don't have to, you shouldn't.

Deborah To be fair, he’s citing Kojeve’s opinion on Japanese ‘human� culture vs. US ‘animal� culture, not categorizing it as his own
