Rated Anna Kariênina 10/10
De fato uma obra incrível. Odiei cada segundo dos capítulos sobre a vida no campo (e de forma geral não consegui me interessar pela história de Liévin) e ainda assim não me senti compelido a largar o livro.

Rated An Introduction to Indian Philosophy 10/10
An accessible introduction to some of the key issues in classical and medieval Indian philosophy. After a historical and methodological introduction, the author presents the issues along seven chapters: Valor (roughly, ethics and politics) -> Knowledge (the role and limits of knowledge) -> Reasoning (logic and methods for knowledge acquisition, especially inference) -> Word (philosophy of language) -> World (ontology and causation) -> Self -> Ultimates (philosophy of religion). <br/><br/>The book succeeds in what I see as being the two main goals of an introduction of this kind. First, each chapter shows how the problems tackled by authors of the various Indian traditions tackle some philosophical questions, highlighting similarities and differences between their approaches and those followed by European authors facing related problems. Second, it provides references and an initial mapping of the issues, enough for an interested reader to know where to look for further education on the subject. Here, the modular structure of the book is particularly useful, as it allows readers that are not particularly interested in some subjects (in my case, language) to make the most of the overall content.
