Synopsis

Inspired by the writings of Benjamin Franklin and fueled by 62 years living in the world, "Poor Roger's Compendium" is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek short collection of truth bytes, short essays, and observations of various subjects. Its object is not to preach but to stimulate thinking and discussion on these subjects. Its thinking is based on two logical razors: Ockham's and Hanlon's (attr. to Robert Heinlein). William of Ockham was a 14th century English nominalist philospher and Robert Heinlein was a mid-20th century sci-fi writer. Although these razors are quite disparate, combined they are excellent tools for questioning the truth of an idea, concept, or behavior.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born a baby-boomer in 1947, surviving the Catholic school system, having a BA in Music and MA in Literature, Roger Barton has become a musician, teacher, shamanic Reiki practitioner, spirit releaser, and armchair philosopher. Music made him independent; teaching made him question and organize; religion, healing, and philosophy made him think about reality. So, after 62 years of surviving the world, Mr. Barton presents some questions, attitudes, and personal ideas about it.
