Penny for a Thought If I had a penny for every flawed syllogism in this brave new work by political philosopher Ferguson, I wouldn't have a cent to my name! Adept at the syncretism of aesthetics, the author succinctly sets up each chapter and then proceeds to mount argument upon argument, masterfully dealing with rather than ducking any questions or counters which pop into one's head while absorbing these theories. His command over this ineluctable subject was nothing short of an act of finesse. | ||
