Not so much a text as a philosophical adventure story, this book explores questions of consciousness, dreams vs. reality, the nature of the self, the search for wisdom, and the meaning of life. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is the strangest, most wonderful novel I have ever read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This novel really makes me wonder who I am. According to this book, I am the author, I am Rene Descartes, and I am you. We are all the same person. I do in fact recognize myself in some of its pages. But where does that leave me? Here? There? Everywhere? Nowhere? This is a philosophical labyrinth in which you must lose yourself in order to find yourself. My favorite lines in it are, "Mirrors are the darkest glass in Plato's cave," and "When again I looked I was gone."
