Huh. I wonder how the utilitarians got so high. I think this sort of thing needs to come with a disclaimer to the effect that the value of reading philosophy doesn't come from comparing recipes for living, but from getting in the head of the philosopher and reliving his/her struggle with the issues. I think that's where the most learning happens. Marvin Long Austin, Texas
