Sculpting Sententiae
This work contains 406 original sententiae (statements) plus a preface discussing why this type of philosophical writing is considered to be an art form. It represents a radical departure from the contemporary university approach to philosophy as a scholarly discipline. Here the mind does not analyze; it apprehends, it sees. The three appended essays present in discursive prose many of the ideas that are more directly and succinctly expressed by the sententiae. In an era of uncertainty, hypocrisy and declining values, this work should engage the interest of a reader with an inclination toward philosophical thought.
