bobbo49's review against another edition

Ah, Gombrowicz! This really is a guide to philosophy - although anyone who could read it, let alone grasp the depth of the analysis in 6 hours and 15 minutes, is way beyond my capabilities. Brilliant, caustic, critical, complementary, challenging - and Gombrowicz to the core. I'll have to mark it down as one to re-read when I'm lying on a beach somewhere and can really just read a chapter a day; I sometimes read three chapters in a day, and it was just too much analysis to hold in my head!

An elegant leap through the history of philosophy hindered and weakened by ludicrous and simply asinine commentary on Marxism and a borderline empty understanding of Nietzsche. Nonetheless, a particularly resounding analysis and summation of existential philosophy can be found here for those curious.
