The Fold
I'm reading yet another outrageously good book called The Fold, by Gilles Deleuze.
This guy is a famous philosopher, and I find that reading his books always gets me peeved at first. He just doesn't make any sense. He writes vaguely about concepts and then plows on to the next interesting subject. He is deliberately vague, and builds concepts' borders by tracing relationships between these and other concepts.
Strangely, that works even for me, whose knowledge of philosophy is inexistent or anecdotal.
Just because I don't know what I'm reading about, it doesn't mean I don't get it.
