No, I don't know anything about any other versions. I suppose there might be some introductory material or something but there'd be no reason to update the essay itself.

I can't stress enough that the contents were originally delivered as a lecture series and the text has only been modified lightly for the page. If you're willing to look a bit foolish, I recommend reading aloud various passages to really drive home the style.

I hope you enjoy it, I find it ver though provoking and return to it occasionally, particularly the first chapter, for its exploration of how thinking itself changes.
