Publisher's Synopsis
The Philosopher In The Clearing is a philosophical novel written by John James Procter and published in 1897. The story revolves around a philosopher named Julian who retreats to a clearing in the forest to contemplate life and the universe. As he spends time in isolation, he begins to question his own beliefs and the nature of reality. Julian's musings are interrupted when a young woman named Mary stumbles upon his clearing, and they engage in a series of philosophical discussions about the meaning of life, morality, and the existence of God. Throughout the novel, Procter explores various philosophical themes, including existentialism, free will, and the nature of consciousness. The Philosopher In The Clearing is a thought-provoking and introspective work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and perceptions of the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
