Mistaking his erection for a planted flag, he declares the place Platonopolis, attempts to calculate his Pythagorean number, kills God (though he later sees evidence of His resurrection), and, Rousseau-like, turns away from reason and civilization, favoring the noble savage, only to march back into the concrete jungle as one of Nietzsche's savage nobles. In the end, however, he is all jumbled up and clucking like Einstein's cuckoo clock, until he perceives philosophy as music, hears its arguments as a symphonic procession of the electrochemical pulses produced within three-pound lumps--lumps self-amalgamated from the vomitus of stars--and revises his History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Grandbois\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the prose poetry\/flash fiction collection \u003ci\u003eUnlucky Lucky Days, \u003c\/i\u003e the art novel \u003ci\u003eThe Hermaphrodite: An Hallucinated Memoir, \u003c\/i\u003e and the prose poetry collection \u003ci\u003eUnlucky Lucky Tales.\u003c\/i\u003e His work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eFiction, Boulevard, \u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eMississippi Review, Conjunctions, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eElectric Lit, \u003c\/i\u003e among others, and often includes collaborations with visual artists across the Americas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 7.9 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46089475031237,"sku":"9780822964322","price":27.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/soEvaTz4Xg9780822964322.webp?v=1776282782","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/a-revised-poetry-of-western-philosophy-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
