A fresh and invigorating account of Enlightenment thought, opening plenty of fresh leads along hitherto undiscovered lines of ramification.
I am reminded of a line from “De ontaarde slapers”, by Ward Ruyslinck: “Alles wat vandaag gaat gebeuren, zal hetzelfde zijn als wat gisteren gebeurd is. Het leven is eentonig.”
“The sense of life’s continuity depended on trifling bodily impressions. The trivialities of daily existence were an armour for the soul.”

I feel like there’s an old Australian tale about a bloke here doing something similar!
