Is that why you're here? Are you looking for feedback to help you to decide? If so, you can forget me, as I really don't want that kind of responsibility. I'm at a place right now where I feel that knowledge is kind of volatile. I'm not necessarily capable of deciding on relative issues of importance, and would tend to feel really guilty if I let someone down, and I don't need that kind of baggage. With any luck, you'd not want me to anyway. ;-) And yes, I'm being serious, it just seems kind of funny that I should be saying this about myself, but I try and be honest at all costs.

Good Luck with the book, I wish you success.
The history of man is the history of man gaining self-consciousness through his interaction with the objective world surrounding him. And I don't think I am doing any serious mistake in seeking opinions of certain ideas of the book I am writing through discussions in an appropriate forum--Book Club.

Thank you for all your responses and good wishes.
Neither do I believe that you are making a mistake. I think it good that you seek constructive criticism, I would do the same. I just don't want to be a factor in that process, because I don't trust myself to be objectionable enough to effectively help you.

I would offer, not to give up on your project, and to continue to refine your ideas.

I really do wish you the best of luck!
