Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
My book club chose this last month. A text you study rather than simply read. Still worth having on the shelf.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Solid, if not essential.
