Title: Bad translation? This isn't readable at all.
Review: I'm not sure if the translation is confusing, or the ideas being presented are confusing, or both. But this philosophical book is a lot of words written without saying much. I'm writing this because I purchased the book after reading the 17 reviewers who rated this book five stars. I was looking forward to an excellent treatise.But instead I found the ideas confusing and random. It was difficult todetermine exactly was being presented.I did like the Euclidean/Tractatus numbering system for the propositions.But the ideas in those propositions weren't clearly written or easily understood by me.To give you some background on me, I'm no fan of Hegel.Ernest Becker's works give me a lot of insight, as do Nietzsche's.I think this book assumes the reader is well-versed in Hegelian thought.Maybe the reader needs to complete the Phenomenology of Mind before this work is accessible.
