Love

A book written plump in the middle of the age of the cell phone, the triumph of capitalism over christianity and the nominal islam of currently ? la mode Isis and ayatollahs. Only the new matters, not cell phones, that are new modes of communicating the traditional, the OLD. "What is not revealed in the text of this quasi-novel post the title page is the fact that it is a treatise on love by a certain Guy S. Taylor, who is influenced deeply by the French novelist Stendhal's theory that love consists of crystals of idealization around the one someone loves. What is revealed only here in this background and backcover description and not known to even that learned gentleman is that that same theory is identical psychologically to the English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coler's claim that all imaginative literature stems from the willing suspension of disbelief. Shakespeare landed in the same pigeonhole when he gave to one of his characters in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" his own philosophy, that it is 'of imagination all compact.' Regarding the matter of whether love is essentially an aesthetic phenomenon in its attractions, or something other Taylor does not see, this book has been published to be used not read (Foucault's term for his philosophical archaeology) to enlarge the reader's comprehension beyond the character's theory to something more spiritual."
