My only problem with the book is that there was not enough of the science, and the stuff on spinoza seemed very slanted. it's not a criticism as such - the spinoza stuff was BOUND to be slanted by the content (and if i'd wanted more i science could read one of his blimmin proper textbooks couldn't i) but it felt like it might have been quite a 'whiggish' rewrite
actually now i think about it, i don't know if i would have kept it in the great turf out of stuff from a year or so ago :-(
