Allow me to introduce you to the second work in the Scribd trilogy by Apostolakos Constantinos, who I believe, is our own Satyr.
The piece is titled, Interactions and Interpretations and, as with all by Apostolakos Constantinos' manuscripts this one is easily approachable, a joy to read, broad, deep and wide in it's scope of philosophical thought.
I bring the idea of this work to you for upon another thread, a minor discussion of truth, is being bantered.
I think this quote by Apostolakos Constantinos will go a long way in introducing the thrust and stye of this tome;
This reversal also depends on an even more ingenious presupposition, which is mostly implied but rarely uttered openly outside religious doctrine and New Age spiritualism, and that is that all of this is an illusion: the idea that the senses really evolved to trick us, rather than aid us within a reality; that all of it is some kind of test and/or a stage one must earn an exit from, towards this more Idea(l), “better reality”,where all is calm, still, unchanging, one, and so more blissful.
This work of almost 170 pages covers a wide birth of philosophical thought and subjects.
Unlike Apostolakos', The Feminization of Mankind, Interactions and Interpretations has little quotes by other world leaders and established philosophers.. This work is pure Apostolakos.
Someone mentioned purchasing Apostolakos' works.
Yes this is a marketable work.
This is the rub.
Scribd, like many other document sharing sites along with forums, blogs, and individual web sites create a strange new world that we are all entering together.
This world makes accessible the most important work mankind has to offer to the most benign.
All free.
It is for another thread, the philosophical and economic importance of this access, and it's multitude of effects for both author and viewer.
Enjoy this fast moving work and please reveal what you think is the most important subjects of this manuscript.
The rarity of a genius is not only a product of genetics, but it is also a result of finding fertile ground to sprout deep roots in, downwards towards the abyss, and challenging circumstances to be pushed to grow upwards towards the heavens.
In the higher stages of self-consciousness one finds identification in the other, by finding a shared void – we relate with the other on the grounds that we similarly share the same lack…the same need. The more sophisticated this self-awareness is the more precise this identification is.
In multiplicity the possibility of perfection is preserved, whereas in monism it is presumed.
Much of what I consider true is considered counter-intuitive, and that I dare to claim it as my own is considered arrogant, yet it starts from a deep sense of humility, as it proposes a perspective where human awareness is not taken to be totally adequate and it starts from a premise where reality remains forever mystifying…as it should be.

In direct reference to this forum I may add some words of Apostolakos' immediately following his title, May my sourness turn into a sweet aftertaste.
Interactions and Interpretations, enjoy and post any questions or reactions and perhaps Apostolakos will respond.
