The Thinker-Artist (Sophia and Philosophia)

The Thinker-Artist (Sophia and Philosophia) is a work of philosophical fiction, or, more accurately, of philosophy and fiction side by side.
The book is a follow-up to Pure: Modernity, Philosophy, and the One and a transition to Plato and Nietzsche: Their Philosophical Art. It relates the semi-autobiographical story of a professor of philosophy engaged in writing a sequel to a book of Platonic philosophy while gradually coming to realize that he now has an altered philosophical perspective that is not completely compatible with his previous work. This new perspective is related to a psychological mystery involving the Professor, a strange new tenant in his home, and his past relationships with his father and uncle.
The Professor's story is told through the medium of fiction. Every other chapter of the book is a chapter of non-fiction, of straight philosophy, these chapters constituting a draft of the professor's intended second book, entitled Sophia and Philosophia.
One need not have read Pure or Plato and Nietzsche to follow The Thinker-Artist. It is related to these books as noted, but it can be understood and enjoyed on its own.
