After doing some digging into theology and philosophy and liberal psychedelic usage, I arrived at a rough approximation of this guy's philosophy. Is 'Ethics" worth reading? Has anyone else who has gone down this rabbit hole have any useful advice?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 24 00:16:38 2018 No.10579530 Yes, Ethics is incredibly tedious because it is structured like a geometric treatise. There is a lot to it, I'd reccomend reading the SEP essay, Bertrand Russels entry and then Deleuze's incredible little book on him.

It's just a demanding piece of writing that's going to require some fortitude and patience to read in full. My prof's advice to me the first time I read it was probably the best I could give you:
Accept the fact that most of it will go over your head the first time but take notes along the way, especially with vocabulary.
