A great and complicated read. It critiques the Cartesian and Empirical philosophical traditions and proposes an alternative way to understand how humans perceive our world. The writing style is artful, full of poetic metaphor, which I found surprising in a philosophy text. And the style is humble in a fascinating way - MP frequently will identity a problem, propose one solution, decide there's a new problem, and keep iterating through problems and solutions until the end of a chapter that finally reaches something like a conclusion (and even those are contingent and later chapters will point out that reality's actually still more complicated than what he's been able to propose so far)
