Review of 'Studies In Pessimism' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I might not like most of what he had to say, but I can't point at a logical error. Modern sensibilities will be attacked from all sides, people will want to respond with various ad hominems about the author, but it all just falls flat.

Short, written in a good style (no idea how much the translation changed), without much of the typical focus on abstract systems.

Some notes on the edition: For some reason the fucking latin isn't translated? Why? Plenty of footnotes about certain references to other authors, and historical events, but the latin stayed.
