ULTIMUS

Description

Intellectual stimulation is not so easy to come by these days – especially in a form that does not require you to squeeze your logic box in so many different ways that the sheer effort to maintain a meaningful relationship with whatever your mind is engaged with has forced you to sacrifice any and all of the pleasure you were hoping to gain from the experience. If that last sentence made any sense whatsoever to you then Ultimus is for you. Philosophy without tears, logical extrapolation without strain. A celebration of the human mind and its unfailing ability to run with a concept without hesitating, repeating or deviating from its essential meaning and eventually bring you back to where you started from, a little more honed and sharper in your perception, a little more refreshed with the possibilities of your own original insights regarding your good self and the amazing universe from which you sprang – a double miracle you should never take for granted. To say more would needlessly delay you from the experience itself, while to have said less would have left you unprepared; with these two points in mind, if I now withdraw and leave you to your own investigation, you will understand if I say we are both well acquitted.

About the Author

Born in Oxford, I have had a number of jobs the longest of which was a furniture salesman. A breakdown while working at the post office severely marginalized me and eventually led me to therapy through creative writing. I am extremely grateful to Jason Pegler's Publishing House and the opportunity it gives me to put this work in the public domain.
