Life Is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way by Kieran Setiya
3.0
It’s fine. There’s some interesting ideas. I’m sure as a course or lecture this would’ve been better. And maybe it’s the fact that I’ve discovered that caffeine pills are a thing, and I don’t think my heart rate has dropped below 120 for the last few weeks, but I find myself incredibly impatient with this book spending way too much time talking about things that didn’t seem to drive it forward.
Reading philosophy is such a treat when you can understand it. But reading people discuss reading philosophy is it’s own special circle of hell. Some thing to bear in mind, I guess.
In an ideal world, I get all of my modern philosophy from strange hermits residing in the woods, whatever odd man cave/faraday cage Jaron Lanier lives in, or from beautiful women who reside in ponds distributing political science philosophy, as well as swords
