Shakespeare's Philosophy Illustrated - Quaternary Teaching Aids features a series of charts and diagrams in colour throughout its 192 pages. It is organised into four distinct Parts as teaching aids for a Quaternary level of understanding. Each Part provides a distinct entry point into Shakespeare's Sonnet philosophy. Part 1 surrounds the seventy-eight facsimile pages of the 1609 edition of Shake-speares Sonnets with succinct speech-balloon commentaries on the individual sonnets and their groupings and their relation to the companion poem A Lover's Complaint. Part 2 has fifty-three pages of charts and diagrams illustrating aspects of the Sonnet philosophy. They examine the relationship of Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy to philosophy in general along with the implications for a global demographic. Part 3 considers a number of historically enigmatic art works to demonstrate their relationship to all Shakespeare's plays and poems from the vantage of the Sonnet philosophy. Part 4 further explicates the relationships between the enigmatic images illustrated in Part 3. It features an essay on the creative depth shared by Leonardo da Vinci's one-off Mona Lisa, Marcel Duchamp's intentionally limited oeuvre and Shakespeare's entire output.
About the author
Roger Peters is an artist, philosopher and writer who lives and works in Taranaki, New Zealand. In 1995, he detected a profound and comprehensive philosophy in Shakespeare's 1609 Sonnets. The depth and scope of the insight explains why Shakespeare's plays and poems are increasingly relevant to today's global audience. Peters presented Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy in a 1760-page four-volume set William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy in 2005.
Peters established The Quaternary Institute and www.quaternaryinstitute.com website in 2000 to anticipate a level of learning beyond current Tertiary worldwide commensurate with Shakespeare's brilliantly consistent and comprehensive philosophy and his penetrating insight into mythic logic. Peters is working on an 800,000-word commentary around a facsimile of the thirty-six plays from the 1623 Folio to be completed in early 2020.
