There are certainly versions of it where thats true. The prose varies a lot from one edition to another. Its also true that a number of philosophical works are quite easy to read from a mechanical point of view, while others (see Kant) are terrible writers and harder to read. However, their skill as a writer doesnt necessarily correlate in any meaningful way with the complexity of the concepts theyre exploring. <cite>Glob posted [p:980164115] in I was just...
