COMMENT:A book which confirms any suspicion that philosophy is the disease, not the cure. Savages irrationalists like Karl Popper, modern relativists, and 19th century idealists. Stove is venomous, but also very funny. The final essay, "What is Wrong With Our Thoughts: A Neo-Positivist Credo," is of special interest to skeptics, calling for a "nosology" or disease classification for human thought, including much of philosophy, occult ideas, and similar bizarreness.
