4.0
Overall I was quite impressed.
Some essays were clearly just using Discworld as a cover for talking more generally about various philosophical concepts- which is fine for me, because I quite enjoy (most) philosophy.
But some essays were engaging with Discworld in interesting ways, really digging into the characters and ideas Pratchett was writing about. Some of the essays on Granny Weatherwax, Hogfather, and Monstrous Regiment were very strong.
