    Arouet's (incomplete) analysis of Chapter IV of Phantasms

    I was going to wait until it was complete but because Bertha keeps on bringing this up as evidence of my so-called dishonesty I am going to post my incomplete work. Bertha and I agreed awhile back to each read something recommended by the other for discussion. Bertha suggested I read Chapter...
