Ebook short description

A sustaining philosophy for the sovereign human being; a navigation system for self-management and an a recipe on how to increase your IQ.

Extended description

Reason sheds a light in dark places, revealing a truth where before was ignorance and the void. Art often gate-crashes the party, drinking blindly from the cup, sending a shaft of light into the shadows. Necessity is the mother to the kingdom of consciousness, that which first gave birth to philosophy. Art, the brain-child of reason, creates myth. Science, the heir apparent to reason, reveals the form. Religion, the old wet-nurse to reason, tries in vain to set the moral standards. Three centuries ago, it was a lighthouse guiding the ship out of the port. It was a brave voice in the back of our whispering collective consciousness saying when to put a sheet in the wind's eye and when to abstain from animation. It was the wasp at a party who preyed upon the priests and looked to heaven for naught. In the age of enlightenment, it was overlord and everything seemed possible. Now its time has returned!

Does a thorough job at busting up the party of the irrational that it's like a beating-down of the gods of modern myth and so much nonsense of modern society. No less than a complete overthrow of all aspects of Plato and Neo-Platonism.

Most of the articles are about taking responsibility for yourself and control of your own life. This is very important to achieve a successful and full life. I have recommended my two teenage sons to read it and if you are a college or university student, it comes also strongly suggested

Review by: Tom St. Amant on Feb. 20, 2011 :
I was on Holidays for a week and I read a few books 3 were non Fiction. The first was The Selfish Gene by Dawkins, although the book has it's merits of evolution it is hard to take that there is an actual selfish Gene, all life has an evolutionary trail of survival. The second was The Grand Design by Hawkins, extremely disappointing, almost nothing new and instead of trying to find the WHY and HOW of Quantum physics he has settled for what it may do. In the end Hawkins claims that we should beleive in Science instead of God. Beleiving in blind Science is no different then blind God. The Third non Fiction book was Articles in Dissident Philosophy by Edward St. Amant. This was by far the best of the 3 books. Most of the articles are about taking responsibility for yourself and control of your own life. This is very important to acheive a succsessful and full life, I have recommended my two teenage sons to read this book. Tom
