does seeing the words and turning the pages count as reading bc what was this man saying 80% of the time. he b like “that by which can be two that i have already described is one which was mentioned” ?? yo??? i feel weird reviewing classical texts that are extensively debated but tbh this one’s warranted bc i found his arguments to be pretty weak or just not substantiated enough. plato does the same through socrates in the republic, but you can read that one as a critique of socrates’ manner of arguing. you can’t really read this from a more nuanced/literary perspective like you can in the republic to approach it more generously, either. also he’s like women & slaves r stinky and stupid so i’m taking stars off to be petty i bet he’s shaking and crying in hell like “noooo amelia from goodreads gave me 2 stars and said my book was bad :,(“
