Readers will also find that the five chapters of PART ONE are longer than the five chapters in PART TWO. The reason is that the mistakes discussed in part one are more difficult to expound clearly. It is more difficult to explain what is involved in correcting them. the philosophical errors discussed in part one are more fundamental and give rise to more serious consequences in modern thought.
