So yeah....Hugh MacLennan's *Two Solitudes* (1945) is much more interesting at age 50 than it was last time I read it (age 15). Makes me wonder about the pros and cons of having high school students read the classics. It probably shaped my thinking...but I missed a lot too!
"I would suggest here that the history of philosophy after Newton could be thought of as a series of confrontations with the question of how to talk about falling."
