Really loved parts of this. Struggled with others--taking a whole chapter to justify caring about Native American thought just doesn't seem necessary to me; likewise the lengthy stuff on Nelson Goodman.

Great on expanded conception of person, though. And the chapter on performance was excellent and illuminating.

Fascinating
Liked everything except the numbers
