Continuing with my "the world's screwed" reading theme for the year...
I've tried reading this before a few times, and kept getting bogged down and giving up - largely because I felt I should make myself more familiar with Plato, Hegel, and Marx first to properly understand it. But this time I'm finding it not that difficult to follow - albeit I'm definitely missing some of the nuances of the argument.

Got a bit bored by the Plato bits in Book One, TBH. Now chugging through Book Two, and enjoyed the takedown of Hegel. Next up, Marx, where I suspect I might start disagreeing a bit more. (Not about teleology being stupid, mind...)
