Title: A gem
Review: This very short text hails back to the days of logical positivism when philosophers seriously maintained that philosophy was nonsense. Though it would not seem to require this many pages to refute a self-refuting position, the author along the way makes acute observations on the culture of American academic philosophy that seem little changed in the 30 years since it was written. The final pages contains one of the most beautiful paeans to philosophy ever written. This is a clever, insightful, amusing and lovely work that has received far too little attention. And strangest of all, it turns out that the author writes elsewhere under the pen name "John Norman"--author of the "Gor" fantasy novels. But don't let that dissuade you! Read this book! It is a philosophical gem.
