Deep Wisdom

Deep Wisdom

As Socrates suspected and Plato saw well, hardly anything is exactly what it seems. Wisdom often turns things upside down, insight out, and rightside forward. We philosophers continue to be counter-cultural voices seeking to speak the unexpected truth. Admittedly a lot of insight is enhanced common sense, what anyone who has lived alertly might see and grasp. But then there are depths that can put anything, and sometimes everything, into a different frame, a context in which much is reversed and astonishment leads to peace.

This is the uber theme of the new novels in the epic series that's profiled at the website: www.TheOasisWithin.com.
