A fascinating blend of fiction and philosophy. Two characters without names form Antinomy: the Other, whose life consists of difference, rejection, and learning through suffering; and the One, whose presence evokes understanding and bliss.

5.0 out of 5 stars
intensely philosophical prose poetry,
This review is from: Antinomy: A Union of Mind (Paperback)
This book is full of philosophical mystery. In its second half it personifies the One and the Other of Plato's Unwritten Doctrins and uses them to enact a dialogue that embodies the antimonies at the heart of the so-called 'crisis of the West'.
The book strikes me as very Heraclitean in its play with opposites. It seems as though the author is attempting to overcome (or perhaps incorporate?) nihilism by meditating on the fundamental tensions that structure huamn existence and understanding their hidden harmonies. It takes one to another realm, a realm of verbal music and thought. Read it if you're ready to go for a ride.

An extraordinary blend of fiction and philosophy,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antinomy: A Union of Mind (Paperback)
Antinomy: A Union of Mind is an extraordinary blend of fiction and philosophy. Antinomy revolves around two characters without names: the Other, who experiences difference, rejection, and learning through suffering; and the One, who experiences understanding, bliss, and cultivates a firm and holistic character. Act Two observes the descent of One and experience with human needs. The final act reveals the Divine Mind through a conversation between the One and the Other, who both understand their mutual dependence. An impressive and thought-provoking debut novel of complementary states of mind and being from a philosophy and literature student of eighteen years' experience.

Antinomy: A Union of Mind,
This review is from: Antinomy: A Union of Mind (Paperback)
I found the book to be most interesting. The book has to distinct parts: The first part is both riveting and heart pounding. The second part thought provoking and challenging. Both parts are forceful and well written. I recommend this book to any readers of this genre.
