As you read this book, it will feel like a conversation with yourself. Some things are very conclusive. Given the starting point, you will reach the same conclusions as the author and not be very surprised to read the same.. as there is not much variation possible, especially when we are talking about limiting ideas like truth. The book wont seem an interesting read until your definitions are challenged or you have been introduced to a question like as Adler asks,"What, then,leads one to philosophy in the middle- not as clearly in the sphere of truth as mathematics and experimental science, nor as clearly in the sphere of taste as styles of cuisine or dress?"
This is a book which you can read years later and still find that it has something new to offer.
