Melvyn Leibowitz, Ph.D., author of The Edge of Philosophy in the Midst of Thought, has more than fifty years experience doing speculative philosophy. The book is a ruminative, deconstructive, concept-exploding, non-academic, almost poetic, at points modernist, at others, post-modern work. While it may be regarded as philosophic memoir, there is not much biographical content, but rather it has to do with mind and body, consciousness, history and thought. In its 107 entries can be found such items as: If infinity is endless; does it have a beginning? (78); Is it harder to argue that the universe...
Melvyn Leibowitz, Ph.D., author of The Edge of Philosophy in the Midst of Thought, has more than fifty years experience doing speculative philosophy. The book is a ruminative, deconstructive, concept-exploding, non-academic, almost poetic, at points modernist, at others, post-modern work. While it may be regarded as philosophic memoir, there is not much biographical content, but rather it has to do with mind and body, consciousness, history and thought. In its 107 entries can be found such items as: If infinity is endless; does it have a beginning? (78); Is it harder to argue that the universe does not exist than to argue that God does not exist? (79); Is the sky one? (94); Philosophy without language (82); Is nature performing arithmetic? (84); What can count as no information? (98); If economics were a full science, could a dollar value be placed on the universe? (103); What if biology were one of the humanities? (68); What if guilt and punishment were to flow backwards? (101); Is there a noble reason for wanting to live indefinitely? (96) Influences and perhaps similarities would include William Poundstone, Ottessa Moshfegh, William James, Georg Wilhelm Hegel, and Billy Collins. From 1960 to 1980 there were Richard Feynmann and Bob Dylan. This might be the most luminous work of the last forty years.
