The Next Joy and the Next (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The Next Joy and the Next is a mythology the author uses to understand (insofar as possible, which isn't far) the reason for the life he has lived.

A Word about Myths (from the Prologue):

When I was a freshman at Georgetown University, I walked into the campus bookstore and began browsing, as I often did at bookstores when I had the chance. Bookstores felt like a kind of spiritual home to me then (and still).

I think I was in the Philosophy section (my spiritual kitchen, to continue the metaphor) when I spotted a small book by Spenser Brown called The Laws of Form. I opened the book and read the first line, which said:

"Draw a distinction".

In an instant, I understood that everything I thought I knew and everything I knew I thought were wrong. Incomplete. Illusion.

I have spent the rest of my life (so far) trying to understand what is behind the illusion.
