The first time I tried to read this book, I made it to the beginning of the fourth chapter. The second time around, I dragged myself through to the end, but only had some understanding of what I had already read. Maybe one day I will have the context to reread this and take something from the second half. For now, I'll say it was an interesting concept but I couldn't tell you if the author provided sufficient evidence to support her thesis. She may have, but in order to tell, you'd need to have more familiarity with the dozens of philosophers she references than I do. "Hey, I recognize that name!"
