Produktbeschreibung
From the privations of deepest midwinter, through the new life of spring and on to the rounded fullness of summer, the passage of the seasons has ever played an intrinsic part in our lives. Even in a modern society that no longer lives by the boom and bust turn of the calendar, there are those who still observe the old cycles, allow time to unfurl and keep a weather-eye for whatever comes next. This book traces one such journey, charting the exploits of an angler as he follows the "senescent" slide of the months that bloom, wither and die, chronicling the sights and sounds of the rolling year whilst waiting patiently for the emergence, once more, of a bright hunter's moon.
Autorenporträt
Simon Smith was awarded a D.Phil. in Philosophy by the University of Sussex in 2007. The philosophical theology of Austin Farrer was, and is, his primary subject matter; personalist metaphysics, his abiding interest. He is now the editor of Appraisal, journal of the British Personalist Forum. He is also co-editor of two volumes of essays on modern personalist thought. The first, with James Beauregard, is In the Sphere of the Personal: New Perspectives in the Philosophy of Persons (Vernon Press, 2016); the second, with Anna Castriota, is Looking at the sun: New Writings in Modern Personalism (Vernon Press, 2017). Having once taught philosophy at the University of Southampton in the UK and the Modern College of Business and Science in Oman, he now lives happily in the library at the University of Surrey, where he scavenges for food among the law periodicals. Buried deep in the Surrey Downs, he occasionally pursues a more perfect alignment of science and religion through the diverse forms of personal analogy at work in modern physics and modern metaphysics.
