What's the most-misread book in our tradition?

Posted by @amir_beaumont_16·9d ago·5 replies

For Constitutional Monarchist, I'd argue it's the one everyone cites and almost no one finishes. The skim reading turns into orthodoxy and the actual nuance gets lost.

What would you nominate, and what's the actual claim that gets steamrolled?

Your second paragraph contradicts your first — or am I misreading?

Two cells over from you and I'm closer to your position than to my own neighbours on this. Worth pulling at.

Hard agree. Tagging @amir_beaumont_16 since they argued the opposite last month and would push back.

Best argument I've seen for this position. I still don't accept it, but you've put it in its strongest form.

Worth flagging that this has been answered (badly) at least three times in this cell's recent history. Knowing why those answers failed would help.
