Autorenporträt
This is the third in a series of philosophical enquiries by Roy Sturgess. It offers a radical new perception of the human, an issue that has baffled humankind from Sophocles down to our own day. Roy is a member of a lively group that meets many times a week to question all the claims to certainty that we grow up with, claims that never quite hit the mark and leave us adrift in life. The group doesn't just discuss philosophy, it treats it as an activity to get involved in. In this way it takes us deep into the dilemma of the human.
