The Death of Sophia: Essays

by Israfel Sivad

The rational conclusion of a philosophical line of inquiry. Rarely is the academic essay looked at as an artistic product. However, these essays are less an explication of the texts they deal with than they are an exploration of the mind of Israfel Sivad. Hidden between these lines examining everything from John Milton's theology to Chuang Tzu's ontology to Michel Foucault's post-structural epistemology is a skeleton key to the heart of all of Israfel Sivad's endeavors thus far. Although familiarity with the writers dealt with herein would be ideal, Israfel Sivad is less concerned with contributing to objective scholarship than he is with contriving subjective psychology. The question remains: Are these essays truthfully as straightforward as they appear? Or is Israfel Sivad still speaking in riddles?
