The One and the Many

'The One and the Mam- is actually creation in progress ... and the reader is invited to witness the very process as it unfolds itself from aphorism to aphorism.' The author's bold claim is amply borne by his exciting foray into the analysis of consciousness, individuality, knowledge and being itself. Drawing on Jung and other sources, Anthony Mill lays bare the division or 'Schizm' between the flesh and the various guises assumed by the spirit. Vatic rather than purely philosophical, the effect is both therapeutic ('an aphorism a day keeps the doctor away') and intensely stimulating, as the reader finds new light cast on a dazzling array of ideas. This concordia discors offers paradox, passion and puzzlement, and crams a galaxy of concepts into one bright textual star.
