Date: 2011-01-31 02:57 pm (UTC)Various links (most of which copy each other) mention that Juden Raus was heavily criticized by the Nazis, but no one has explained why.
Ignosticism: You might be interested in Doubt by Jennifer Michael Hecht, a history of ideas of the limits of knowledge.
The Book of Not Knowing by Peter Ralston. I've only read about half of it, but it's an extended exploration of the fact that your idea of yourself isn't the same as your actual self.
Ralston is a martial artist who's used logic and introspection to go deep into the roots of action and perception.

At least you have a book. And now you want a book that's easier to understand?".
