wordburn
Inflammation or blistering of the brain caused by overexposure to direct words.
Even though the author of the book "The Tree of Philosophy" advises me that it is 'meant to be read slowly, to be "mulled over", roughly one chapter ... per week', but I'd rather be recognizing of my ignorance and simply zipping through the book as quickly as possible--to avoid a wordburn by the post-Kantian metaphysics, Kant's view of religiousness, and all other Kantian stuff.
