About the author

The Three Apples of Discord is a collection of essays that explores the fractures of human identity and consciousness through the symbol of the apple, understood as the fruit of knowledge and the origin of discord between the human and the divine. The work is structured into three core analyses: Manifesto of Persephone, on the conflict between the sexes and the social structures shaping femininity; Narcissus, My Love,on desire as the foundation of the Self and the tension between the individual and universal consciousness; and Oedipus Amor Fati,on trauma and the non-linear nature of time, where cause and effect are reversed.

Reviews

[Michael Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

This author diverges from her "Three Apples of Discord" series (along with "The Dance of Pandora's Vessel"), with an essay that refutes Rene Descartes' famous quote (or infamous, depending on one's viewpoint): "I think, therefore I am."

As with each of this author's works, her brilliance is foremost. Yet, this essay's gallery is dedicated to those with a philosophical background... Rather than summarizing the arguments in this Book (this is book one of this two part series... "Moving Frame" is part two, and the book that I've delegated a majority of review to), I'll let you read them for yourself.
