how to philosophize war

phenomenal! anyone who dislikes this book is most likely insane or just boorish. incredibly gripping, comprehensive treatise on war. the philosophical nature that draws from hegel and kant is a wonder to behold (though hegel only pops up in the first two and last few books because they were written last). likewise, those middle books are both the least relevant and universal ones (and the ones he was least satisfied with). great stuff. (read the graham translation)

yes! I forgot about him appearing there; I'm going to reread war and peace, and when I do I bet it will be better for having read this book.
