It’s an interesting contrast drawn, that between the relation with Greco-Roman style gods vs the Christian God with respect to knowledge. I’m not wowed by this book, but it’s very good so far.

Part one met expectations. It’s been quite thoughtful and mostly based in classical tradition thus far. The foundation’s been set: why we desire ignorance (of self and of the world) has been illustrated and set into four modes of discourse: folk, religious, psychoanalytical and philosophical. I’m interested to see what comes next.

The premise is promising. I'll have to see how it plays out.
