Fuck, man, who wants that trash, I just wanted to read some neat points of view before bed, but I have to keep flipping past spoonfeeder McGee. And another thing, page and font sizes should he standardized amongst all books. Sick of these variations all the time. 100 pages should be universal no matter what book, cause I have no way to guesstimate length when everyone does it differently.

Quit bitching and skip the introductions. Is it really that difficult?

asuka silly!
stop complaining, you probably cant understand him without introduction, also translations notes about tricky words (like "arete" in greek, there is no words that means same in any language) are also important
>reading the introduction
Nigga that don't sound like a bed time story
It sounds like a book for students studying philosophy, not just reading it on their spare time.
Stop being a jew and go to a store and just pick up your own copy.
Why does it matter if there's no standard when you can buy all your books from the same editorial?
