3.0 out of 5 stars Very abstract at beginning, firms up as it goes along., 1 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Theory of Religion (Hardcover)
Interesting associations made by the author. The initial chapters are somewhat opaque, but careful reading will allow for understanding. Overall, pretty good, although a bit pretentious. To paraphrase the concept, 'if your deriving utility, you've lost the essence or true reality... that is, if you moved from object to subject, well you've embraced capitalism, you dog! (well, i think thats what he is trying to say...smile).
