The idea that the solitary thinker, using pure reason, can unlock
the deepest mysteries of reality is certainly an exciting one. The
rationalist dream began with Parmenides of Elea and became the
epistemological foundation for the greatest metaphysical systems
ever constructed. This thesis traces the complete historical
development of this neglected epistemology and inaugurates a
radical new appraisal of its method. The new clarity provides fresh
insights into traditional puzzles like the Cartesian Circle and
whether Plato had a secret esoteric doctrine. A new positive
re-evaluation of a doctrine thought to have been refuted by Kant
and the positivists will provide interest for students,
philosophers and those interested in the history of ideas.
Finding Paris is a photographer's journal of walking through Paris
on many trips and through several seasons. It includes insights
from those who have gone before and remembered it well.
Robert Burgess's study of Platonism in Desportes poetry rounds out
