Kenneth Burke's Dramatism and the Study of the Popular Arts Book

The overview that this book undertook is perfect for someone that has yet to decide if they would like to take a crack at the first-hand material (and its opaqueness) of this branch of philosophy. Some aspects were given greater emphasize (Quine, Wittgenstein). Others were abrupt (Austin, Moore, Hume). But overall, it was a very informative read; but I would perhaps recommend something even a bit more informal for those first-timers. As analytic philosophy surrounds its analysis on language and modal logic, which can be quite a daunting task to understand.

But like many forms of this type of book, it primarily explores its subject-matter through less quantifiable forms. I definitely can understand the reason, as jargon implies explaining that jargon. But oftentimes the non-technical explanations made things more obscure than they needed to be.
