I don't usually do this but after 100 or so pages I am putting this book down and walking away. Life is too short. I'm giving it two stars because Kaufmann's writing is extremely clear and well-written. It's just that to me he seems to take too long to not say enough. Or maybe not enough that feels important. The word pedantic kept coming to mind. I'm sure many have found this book informative and useful, and perhaps there's true meat on the bones of later chapters, but I'd much rather spend my time reading something I was getting more value out of. Oh well...
Kaufmann made some very critical comments about theology. I'm not convinced that his concerns have ever been fully addressed.
Este libro habla de varias religiones debido a eso genera debate entre téologos, filosofós y psicólogos.
Muy completo, cita a grandes autores de la historia de la filosofía.
