Thanks for the review. The book sounded dry indeed but since it is really informative and explores some aspects of humanity, I would like to read it.

The review laid it clearly that i now see what's expected of the book and how scholarly it's. Thanks for the review.

This does seem like an interesting study of how people react to each other and why they do what they do. You make this book sound like quite a good option - many thanks for the review.

A sociology book written by a Holocaust survivor is definitely thought-provoking. I'd like to learn more about the author's social space theories and his suggestions to possible ways of counteracting people's lack of humanity. Thanks for your review!

Based on the review this book is not something that I would enjoy reading. I am not a fan of scholarly novels. I also don't have an interest in the topic of the book. I don't want to read about human suffering & cruelty. I won't read about wars or the Holocaust. I will pass on reading this story.

Sounds like a meaningful read and well versed as well. It's great to see someone drawn from their personal experience to write something meaningful. Thank you!

This seems like an informative, inspiring and enlightening read. I would definitely like to read this book if I have the chance; looking at concepts like space with some Holocaust context is fascinating, and I would certainly like to know what the author has mentioned. Thanks for the review.

Post by Han26+ »

A book analysing how the four different societal “spaces” influences our behaviour, with examples that are often repeated deliberately, does sound too dry for me to enjoy reading. If I was studying sociology or philosophy, I would want to read this book to gain further understanding, but seeing as I’m not I think I’m going to pass on this one.

Any philosophical book that can help the society improve on its judgement on socio-cultural issues is a welcome read to me. Thanks for the insightful review.

I think the issue that this book is trying to address, an answer to why how people execute inhumanity and how to possibly stop them from happening again, is not only important but also relevant. Thank you for this wonderful review!

This seems to be a great book for those who are interested in this subject. But, for me, this book sounds too heavy, complex, and not a readily comprehensible read. So, I won't be reading it. But, thanks for the informative review.

What a great topic, which has left mw with so many deep thinking questions. I look forward to the day when humans will live in harmony. Cruelty should be replaced with compassion and condesence. Great review.
