Title: Don't deify your philosopher, or anyone for that matter
Review: Not a great book because it tells us anything surprising about those great men of ideas -they often do not follow their own creeds- but worthwhile because it it brutally honest where a lot of single biographies would attempt to gloss over some of the less flattering information. It might not discredit their ideas, but for those who have the tendency of deifying their favorite philosophers, artists, etc., it's enlightening to see them as simple men, smart, but human.
