the rantings and depraved introspective examinations in metaphor of
artist David Cartwright chronicling the years of his divorce and
soon after from the darkness of depression, through the evolution
of self examination and exploration, to a transcendent state of
life's continuing transformation paired with some of David's more
recent experimental photographic endeavors.
a collection of prose and poetry from the real life experiences of
Travis White. An emotive exploration into the metaphoric and
symbolic existentialist introspection of the darkest, deepest,
recesses of the human feeling and experience. Travis White teamed
up with David Cartwright to bring visual elements to complement
each others works that has brought this collaborative work to print
in "the dying of the hay"
These two important essays show Schopenhauer at his most
accessible, offering two self-contained and clearly argued
contributions to ethical theory, published here in a new
translation that preserves Schopenhauer's style in a lucid and
engaging way. This is also the only paperback edition to publish
both essays together. Schopenhauer argues, in uniquely powerful
prose, that self-consciousness gives the illusion of freedom and
that human actions are determined, but that we rightly feel guilt
because our actions issue from our essential individual character.
He locates moral value in the virtues of loving kindness and
voluntary justice that spring from the fundamental incentive of
compassion. Morality's basis is ultimately metaphysical, resting on
an intuitive identification of the self with all other striving and
suffering beings. The Introduction by leading Schopenhauer scholar
Christopher Janaway gives a clear summary of the argument of the
essays in the context of Schopenhauer's life and works and the
history of ethics in the modern period. The volume includes helpful
notes, up-to-date bibliography, and a full index.
