Product Description
Unfinished Concerti: The sequel to Ribbons of Light, this book should obliquely challenge those who love books like the Da Vinci Code, and believe that they contain some semblance of truth or even a shed of factual or compelling evidence about history, Da Vinci, the cults within Catholicism, or the important subject of faith, fact, and fiction. By revealing that the humbug of secret societies and global conspiracies belongs not to our so distant past---but is alive and well in the present and by using the poetic form to dissect the phenomena of belief, myth, and superstition, Porreca castes new light on the contagion of belief that intertwines our past, present and future. His premise is that nurtured by a society which yields to the temptation of evading the rigors of scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and empiricism, and which opts for the big lies of philosophical subjectivity and value- free enculturation, there is little difference between our social-political myths of today and the primitive assumptive scaffolds of our barbaric ancestors. Once again, the academics will not be pleased!
