The Wisdom of the Beasts

I am amazed now, almost two years later, that I paid so much money for this slim little volume. What we have here are ten philosophical fables. Strong says in his preface that he is saying here, in words that can be read on the go, the same thing that he has said in his serious books. T of C at the beginning. The Bird and the Fish (7) presents a headstrong bird who invents bad theories to explain the impact of wind upon the time and effort of his flight from steeple to stream. Achilles and the Tortoise finds the latter thanking Zeno for not allowing Achilles to catch up to him. A bullet and an eagle argue in deeply philosophical fashion over whether lines and points exist. The busy bee starts one fable by declaring Time is honey (41). An intelligent and skeptical young lamb argues with her practical mother over whether she can know that the grass is really green, and asks whether everything is not really one. Do you not know that these things have been definitively threshed out by the Germans, and that it has been proved beyond question that things in themselves are unknowable and do not exist, and that the universe is One? (60). The mother asks One what? and the daughter's reply is one Lamb.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)780 copies printed for the USABy Charles Augustus Stron
