it was amazing
bookshelves: philosophy, essays, history-etc

If only this book was as fawned over as Benjamin Labutet's slightly less excellent, but still excellent 'When We Cease to Understand the World.' Ypi's book is much stranger and more original and brilliant and thrilling and fascinating hybrid (all terms used to describe Labutet). On the other hand, everyone things they can do abstract philosophy, and nobody likes to read about how even using the word 'free' is tremendously hard work, so this got a bit less fawned. Both books are good, don't get me wrong. I just object to the way people embrace the existential and avert their eyes from the morally challenging.

Also, Ypi is fantastic on the Past Present Future podcast. This is what popularized philosophy should be.
