yeah but thats just really heavy to get through, im just saying what worked for me.
Yeah I get the different approaches for different audiences, I'm just worried by what I see as an overarching trend to simplify things (like Kant and Descartes and Aristotle) that shouldn't necessarily be simplified. I should note that I'm a bit out of line here because I haven't actually read the book in question, just reviews of it.
I haven't read the book either, but I see the value in simplifying things and presenting it in a certain way. I feel like if they explain the basic concept well enough (or as basic as you can get with guys like Kant, whom I struggled with), it will encourage the reader to research the ideas further. Sometimes if I want to see if a certain philosopher will interest me, I'll see if there's anything on Philosophy Bro first because it's entertaining and gives me a good introduction to the topic before I have to dive into the deeper thinking.
it doesnt really oversimplify as much as explaining it in another way, like a good teacher
