Query: Writing for general public is not THIS easy

Professor McGinn seems to be rather proud of his writings for the general public. I haven't seen the other popularizations, but I suspect that he has got a little carried away with his earlier successes.This is not an actually bad book, but shallow it is. You get a potpourri of anecdotes, how a poor boy goes to university and then enters a conveyor belt of promotions and job offers.In between the details of his CV you also get rather two-by-four style tutorials on (mostly) linguistic philosophy.And that's about it. No insights to speak of, no life-changing ideas. Very little about "twentieth-century philosophy". No story about how to make a philosopher.Good idea, lazy thinking, sloppy writing.
