PHILOSOPHICA et POETICA: Perspectives from a Postmodern Vantage Point

A significant postmodern statement

This volume, written by Davis over a 20-year period (1975-1995), is divided into two parts.

Part One, "Philosophica," contains four of his essays that address contemporary philosophical problems. Included are, "Humanistic Salvation," "Toward Human Perfection," "The Purpose Paradox Unraveled and "On the Possibility of Revelation."

Part Two, "Poetica," includes the postmodern epic, "Egress," the complete collection of "The Fugues," the prologues to the five acts of "Prometheus" (the second of his four plays for dancers), as well as a representative selection of his poetic works written during the same period as the essays.
