I find Hillman crossing the blurry lines of facts and myth quite often and freely like the daimon-spirit whose existence he argues for. While he argues for the soul's freedom to assert its own facts, his evidence for his other supporting arguments also relies on such fiction. To appear contrarian and be beyond traditional thinking is what makes him sound sophisticated. He isn't. 2 more chapters to see how this ends.

The book alternates between fast and slow. Some of Hillman's arguments are quite contrarian and questionable. His use of anecdotes from famous people are the ones that keep me engaged; the rest of his sophistry and mysticism are a drag. Eager to explore his complete argument in the coming days.
