Rezension von Em“True words are not fine-sounding; Fine-sounding words are not true.” I loved to learn about one of the most defining philosophies of our time. It’s beautifully written, translated and presented. Although I don’t agree with the whole idea, I still found wonderful and inspiring passages I will adapt to my own thinking. One more example: “Deal with things in their state of not-yet-being, Put them in order before they have got into confusion.”
