- marginalia_nu 5y agoIndeed, I think it's a big mistake to cheap out and go for some impenetrable 19th century translation when reading this type of book. Philosophy is difficult enough without dealing with the ridiculously elaborate and flowery language of older translations. Modern Oxford World Classics or Penguin Classics translations are significantly more pleasant to deal with.
