Dark Chemistry on Keele’s Ockham introduction

I already recommended this book, but now Dark Chemistry SECONDS THE RECOMMENDATION for Rondo Keele’s Ockham Explained.

It’s the most enjoyable introduction to a philosopher I’ve read in a long time. Even if you don’t feel especially moved to think about Ockham in particular at the moment, it’s a nice book if you’re feeling rusty on medieval philosophy or even on Aristotle. The biographical parts of the book are also nicely dramatic. Ockham did experience a huge life change in his early 40’s, from successful Franciscan theologian in England to anti-papal action hero fleeing from Avignon to Munich.

Anyway, nice book. It will pep up your enthusiasm level for philosophy if you’re feeling drained or tired about the field lately.
