About this title

Review:

"The master of those who know."
--Dante

From the Author:

give me a chance!
ladies and gentlemen of the late twentieth century: it seems i have fallen out of favor with the majority of mortals. gone are the days when i tromped majestically through the streets of athens, visited the academy, the catamites ... those were the days. but my beliefs and writings are still relevant to your century, and i offer them as a fresh alternative to the postmodern, politically correct rubbish that you consume regularly to pollute your minds. viva la dead white males! Aristotle
