You know that meme of the ogre reading Ulysses? That's very much how I feel after reading this.

Fisher's work is, for the most part, extremely approachable. He does an admirable job of writing to the semi-masses, even while he's playing with heady ideas. A few of the later essays get a little too academic, and in some cases are borderline frustrating, but on the whole, this is a well-written, well-wrought, well-thought work of philosophy.
