Burge is really smart and a pretty nice guy, but phil 129 is crazy hard. His textbook is the hardest thing I have ever read. I am a 3rd year philosophy major, and the content of this class is seriously insane. Its very technical, very complex, and, to me, it was very abstract. For the sake of your grade and your sanity, I would not suggest taking phil 129. Seriously don't do it.
