THE MANY SELVES OF KATHERINE NORTH

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Many Selves“The Many Selves of Katherine North” is one of the most unique and important novels ever written.  The subjective experience of sentient existence on Earth, spirits embodied as flesh in a menagerie of creatures of land, sky and sea, is eloquently observed and described by the author Emma Geen. I have read thousands of books: not one can be compared to or approach the description of sentience awareness and subjective perception of the myriad living creatures of Earth, including the human animal.  This book should be read, regurgitated, savored, digested and assimilated into the essence of every spirit: the beings of Earth will rejoice with understanding and thanks for being perceived as their Many Selves.

PLATO — 348/347 BC) was a Classical Greek philosopher, mathematician, student of Socrates, writer of philosophical dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.[3] In the words of A. N. Whitehead:

“The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. I do not mean the systematic scheme of thought which scholars have doubtfully extracted from his writings. I allude to the wealth of general ideas scattered through them.“

Plato’s sophistication as a writer is evident in his Socratic dialogues; thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters have been ascribed to him. Plato’s writings have been published in several fashions; this has led to several conventions regarding the naming and referencing of Plato’s texts.[5] Plato’s dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, and mathematics. Plato is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. — Wikipedia.org
