Jesse Hilson’s Reviews > Vico and Herder > Status Update

It’s moving slow. I’m in the “Herder” section, the last section. I think it’s a miracle I’ve ever been able to finish reading a book ever. I can’t get control over my mind. Something happened in the last 48 hours, something very cataclysmic.

Isaiah Berlin is eye-opening and mind-opening. I ordered his book Russian Thinkers which contains that famous essay on the hedgehog and the fox. I feel like I found a mentor.

Read the introduction. I think I love Isaiah Berlin. I’m getting tired of dark nihilistic indie fiction. It’s not stimulating my brain right. It’s not nutritious to just read Marquis de Sade offshoots. Not right now. I need to sharpen my brain and develop my thinking better.
