Meghan Doran meghand33325a8 — When I was cramming to learn as much about one of the earliest cultures in human history and followed the development of sanskrit as a language down the Indus river and the later political division of India and Pakistan for my 2006 Nanowrimo I figured I was pretty much done with what I had learned once I had finished my novel and November ended. Then I started reading Kim and Rudyard Kipling's story made all that late night reading come to life for me. The book does include a map of all the places visited but it was nice not to need it because the story flowed so well that I wouldn't have wanted to disrupt it to follow a map. Where Mogli, Kipling's jungle savvy boy is an exploration of man's relationship with nature, Kim the street urchin is his vehicle for reexamining the tenuous relationship between Britain and its then colonial subjects. Kim's story brings together a wide array of cultures: British, Tibetan, Muslim and Hindu. Unsure of his own origins at first, Kim picks and chooses the pieces he likes from all these different cultures. As a very clever child, the adults around him take advantage of him for their own cross purposes. Of all the different relationships in the book it was Kim's role as a chela to the Tibetan lama that interested me the most. It seemed that the countryside was the most open to them when they traveled together and I liked being along for the ride. The next most interesting character is the horse trader Mahbub who used Kim to gather information and pass along secrets encoded in non-sense horse trading information. The most poignant piece should have been Kim's dead soldier father but those details seemed the most forced and unnatural of all the other pieces of the story. Regardless of the few minor quibbles I have with Kim, I enjoyed the book thoroughly.

Raphael Carvalho raphacarvalho — I like this book; it remains unique in comparison to other books that claim a similar project. I've read a couple other books that attempt to explain the "origins of analytic philosophy" (see Scott Soames or Herbert Hochberg), but what sets this text apart is its focus on continental origins. Both Soames & Hochberg limit their continental investigation to the philosophy of Frege while spending more time on the Cambridge school (G. E. Moore, B. Russell, early Wittgenstein...). M. Dummett expands his search to other key German & Austrian figures that most definitely contributed to the formation of the analytic tradition. Dummett not only spends time on Frege; he explores Husserl, Brentano, Meinong, Bolzano, and others as well. The Anglo-Saxon tradition, according to Dummett, really originates in certain Austrian intellectual circles of the late 19th century. Dummett's book is important and interesting for rightly stressing this point. Why is this fact largely unacknowledged? Dummett suggests the rise of Hitler as having something to do with it. Intellectual activity (along with the focus on such things) shifted (or was displaced) to the West as a result of the Third Reich. It's just another way that Nazi fascism devastated European culture and social life. This book is also useful for its commentary & explanation on the analytic/continental split....There is alot of intelligent and perceptive insight on this issue. Dummett is difficult but well worth the effort. Check it out.

Prashi Mittal prashi — I really liked this book. The manner in which it was written was believable and I thoroughly enjoyed the letters!

Marcela Juarez marcejuare0c29 — Interesting story, but I'm not quite sure this title deserves the label as a Christian novel. I won't recommend it to anyone.
