@victorgijsbers understandable. 😁 But I do recommend reading the book at some point because even if you don't end up agreeing with it I think most people would find it enlightening and interesting. Like WD-40 for the mind. You probably already know this, but he very forcefully questions a lot of received wisdom and assumed ideas in philosophy (he's considered a proto-post structuralist iirc) but has fun with it. He speaks in sarcasm, jokes, exaggeration, or pretends to take up his opponent's positions in order to do reductios on them a lot so you have to be very careful what you take his word for and what you don't! :D in keeping with his sort of jovial refusal to take any Traditions or Serious Philosophies seriously he writes very loosely. Hell, the first part of the book is purely just a satire of Hegel!
