کتاب از این نظر که مفاهیم و پدیده های علم سیاست رو مورد بحث قرار داده بود، و بیشتر این مفهوم و پدیده ها رو دوباره به عنوان سوالی در ذهن خواننده مجسم می ساخت جالب بود. منظورم از مفاهیم و پدیده ها، مفهوم و کارکرد زبان هست.
به غیر این مطالبی که نویسنده می خواست وارد بحث فلسفه ی سیاسی بشه خیلی خیلی ضعیف بود. برای مثال بحث کتاب در مورد کنایه، دروغ، حقیقت و... و... و...
