The Ontological Boy
http://theontologicalboy.blogspot.com
In this blog I introduce my ebook The Ontological Boy. It is part prose-poem, part ontological analysis, visions of Platonic realism as you climb the steps of the Scala Paradisi. Eros Uranos. Madness and an incarnation descending. I have not tried to avoid philosophical perplexity by jumping into science. I am not mesmerized by science as are almost all of the others. I have not been afraid of the whirlwind. Things separate. The roaring river is overhead. Words are overheard. The rhythm is maintained.
