Book Description
A fabled troglodyte fears missing out. Wishing to put one pant leg on at a time like everyone else, he tolerates company. Around people he observes their standards and identifies his own standing. He grapples with identity. He fights to be formidable. He learns to not be so alarmingly decisive. The troglodyte and his house are far removed from the neighborly town. In a place where everyone knows everyone, those not in the know are known about. Hoping to form an objective perspective on social life proves difficult. The troglodyte is subjected to overly empathic people who try their best to socialize him. Through adventuring, the troglodyte decides if he had reason to worry. Will this troglodyte look through people or will he return their smiles? Will one hand wash the other? The answers and more. And more questions. A fictitious satire.

The Philosophy of Literature
Author: Donald Phillip Verene
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532641737
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
The Philosophy of Literature: Four Studies puts forth the question of the extent to which philosophers must go to school with the poets. It begins with a new interpretation of the famous Platonic quarrel with the poetic wisdom of Homer. It brings this question forward through the humanism of thinkers of the Italian Renaissance and the German Idealism of Hegel. It then treats the relation of philosophy and literature in four ways by considering philosophy as literature, philosophy of literature, philosophy in literature, and philosophy and literature. In regard to the first of these, it discusses Jorge Luis Borges’s The Immortal, to the second James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, to the third Carl Sandburg’s epic prose poem The People, Yes, and to the fourth, Sebastian Brant’s Ship of Fools. This work demonstrates that in an area of thought often dominated by fashionable doctrines of literary interpretation, the great works of literature and philosophy remain as permanent residents of our thought and imagination.
