because it is fine as long as he knows and admits this and don't talk shit he doesn't know out of his ass?
Or because the topics that interest him as a psychoanalyst also happens to interest a lot of philosophers like Harris and Zizek? Does one need a diploma to be able to discuss with a philosopher or what?

what is your approach when reading in a foreign language? english is my second language however I got fluent in it very young so when I got interested in literature I could already read whatever without problems (shakespeare, joyce, dfw...).
As of recently I learned italian, I'm not fluent but I'd say I would be able to communicate fairly decently if I was thrown in italy, but the thing is, I'm reading books in italian and I don't know what is the best way to approach it
>1. look up pretty much every word I don't know, making the reading a bit tiresome and very slow, sacrificing a bit of the enjoyment to improve vocabulary
>2. plow my way through and keep reading even if I miss a few words in the sentence, which makes the reading more fluent but I'm leaving a lot of words behind.
For 'context', I usually can get the meaning of the sentences even losing a word or two, generally speaking, only occasionally I can't understand a sentence at all.
Advice?
