An exciting look into the theory of knowledge. This book has quite a few ideas to mull over that are relevant and brilliant. I especially enjoyed the bits about separation of property, habits, free will, and social virtues.

Not the best choice to follow-up Seneca with. Few paragraphs that will go in my journal, for sure, but overall, I felt lost within the words and historic examples... maybe I will pick up an annotated edition in the future.
