I didn't agree with everything Kateb says here, particularly the conceit that humans are "partially not natural." But this book will stay with me for a long time, there is a lot to think about here and Kateb has certainly put in the thought. Not an easy book, by any stretch of the imagination, but less jargony and clearer writing than many books of philosophy. I am glad I read this, and having done so makes me feel like a fuller human.

Highly recommend.
The parts of the book that aren't trite are mostly ludicrous, irrelevant, poorly supported, or simply incorrect.
