Hodgkinson offer you a wry look inside the mirrored palaces of high culture.<br><br>Read this book and you'll never again mistake Hegel for Engels, you'll know when precisely to drop Foucault's name into a conversation and how to pronounce "Borgesian," and you'll learn many more essential pointers for the intellectual life.</div>
