"Cynical Maxims and Marginalia" is a collection of cognitive
projectiles. They pierce the reader's pretensions, illusions, and
unexamined assumptions. They provide flashes of insight along with
an occasional good laugh at mankind's expense. There is little
effort here to prove any point, demonstrate any claim, or justify
any supposition. Persuasion is of secondary interest. The primary
intention is to incite, to puncture, and to awaken the reader from
slumber. The maxim is the author's weapon of choice-a scattershot
delivery system. The book lets fly in all directions, but takes
particular aim at no one- or at everyone (which amounts to much the
same thing). Careful argumentation has its place and value, but so
does firing off a quiver full of flaming rhetorical arrows. These
are haphazard shots loosed into the darkness. Take cover.
