Introducing Critical Theory by Stuart Sim
4.0
I was one of those people who would be like, "what the f are these people talking about???" whenever I'd here critical theory arguments against things like math, logic, science, etc. from folks at Cornell. Thanks to this book, I see that the whole genre or approach is not a total sham, but rather some of its ideological aggressors (read: students with little understanding of other approaches).
This is a nice visually stimulating way to be introduced to this world, its giants, and the historical progression. The only problem is, sometimes the brief synopses would be written in discipline-specific jargon and warranted more explanation for a layman. But I guess that has been happening surprisingly infrequently given the ground covered. We'll see if anything changes by the end...
Okay, now I'm done, and nothing has changed. I finished it like a month ago and kind of forget all the jargon I learned, but I guess the book will be handy if I ever I need any.
