The Major Refutation: English version of Refutatio major by Pierre Senges, Antonio de Guevara
george_salis's review
'Jorge Luis Borges declared that “writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.” He sounds like he’s endorsing the SparkNotes of writing like those that exist for reading, and in truth the SparkNotes of Borges’ writing does ignite a conflagration in the mind, for it is compact and concentrated.
With Borges’ quote in mind, Pierre Senges is the ostensible fool who has taken it upon himself to expand rather than condense, to digress rather than focalize, to take a concept and write it to cum-depleted completion, and perhaps beyond.'
