I have been also a painter during this time, having lots of exhibitions and having been congratulated by the President of the Democracy of Greece himself! The last 4 years I had been writing a book on analysis of Edmund Husserl (his theory of wholes and parts), Alexis De Tocqueville (his theory of French intellectual activity before the Great Revolution), Friedrich Nietzsche (his book on the birth of tragedy, according to a sociological perspective of the inventions of his day, of electricity for the Apollonian but also the Socratic, and of the gramophone for the Dionysian). I conclude by an analysis of the Surrealist poet and theatre man Antonin Artaud, to which I provide a linguistic formalism that describes the stages of his development as an artist. To my great surprise, none of the Greek publishing companies I have contacted have any interest on my book, but perhaps I am naive on this field. WHY should they want to read MY typed manuscript, if I don't even offer them money? Anyway, I DON'T have the money to publish the book myself, and I continue to work on the next book as it is usual business. So HERE I AM, at the threshold of joining the community of this forum, as an everyday outlet for reading about views, opinions, and established arguments by fellow aspiring philosophers, as well as commenting on topics and even introducing some myself. Hello to everyone who reads this.
