My book club chose this last month. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Was skeptical at first. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
This edition finally does the material justice. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. One of my better finds this year.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Shipping was quick too.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Good, with the caveats above.
