Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Tom hollanddiscusses the dark side of christian history. Holland argues that the source of humanist values is not to be found in science or reason but in christianity.

Nassim taleb's book is a game-changer. The kindle edition enables a profound reading experience. The audiobook version is also excellent.

Tom holland is an exceptional writer. He delves into topics that are an unexpected pleasure. The only disappointment is that he mails it in for the last chapter.

Tom holland shows how christian precepts came to saturate. Holland expertly guides us through two millennia with a captivating, balanced, and inspiring narrative.

Cons

The book is a collection of selected stories without any attempt at being comprehensive. Holland creates an illusion of a coherent, uncomplicated past that never really existed. This book is dull, dull, and dull.

I must add that the audiobook's boffo narration by mark meadows was worth the price of admission on its own.

Packaging/appearance

Densely packed with things you've always wondered about.

It is packed with information, including specific dates and names, so it can be difficult to keep all the details straight, but... Read More

They do not realize the pandora's box they may be opening.

Competitiveness

The moral, scientific, political, and academic framework we in the west live in today has a lot less to do with the greeks and ... Read More

There is a lot of overlap with holland's thesis and plato, yet plato is never mentioned!
