This Too Is Love

Edson, Jay
This Too Is Love
For all the current preoccupation about "pedophiles, " it is curious how little interest there seems to be with regard to what one is actually like. The author's intimate knowledge of one such individual should prove a useful window for the professional or the questioning layman who needs to look beyond stereotypical pejoratives. Though the work is fiction, it draws its inspiration from the experiences of a real person. Each of the 13 stories ...

The Collective Face of Evil

The Collective Face of Evil
The thesis of this book is that society, rather than the individual, is responsible for the lion's share of what we call evil. The understanding that the source of our wrongness is collective leads to a profound shift in the way we think about the social, economic and political problems that confront us. When we examine the collective moral assumptions and practices of modern society, we discover that, in the final analysis, they support a soc...

The Ontology of I/Thou

Edson, Jay
The Ontology of I/Thou
This is an autobiography of sorts. My primary agenda, though, is not to give the reader a coherent account of my life. Rather I use my recollections of an odd assortment of intense experiences as jumping off points for some philosophical and religious reflections. The experiences are always as much about someone else as they are about me - hence the emphasis on I/Thou. It should also be noted that my primary audience is people who are, or have...

A Galaxy of No-Stars

A Galaxy of No-Stars
Coming to terms with the sudden loss of billions of humans in a single event has so long been an underlying theme of stories that the genre has its own name -- the post-apocaplyptic novel. Many deal with the practical dramas and demands of such an event, and many with the sociological ones implicit in rebuilding human society from what scraps remain. Few books, though, have ever used this genre to question our very notion of 'human society', o...

What Can I Say about Light?

Edson, Jay
What Can I Say about Light?
This book is about what most poetry books are about. Death, Life, Birth, the Sun, Flowers, Love - that kind of thing. It even has a few butterflies in it. Originally I thought about including a very nice poem I had about a noble Indian looking out toward the horizon with a tear in his eye. But I decided to leave that one out. Also I had a really poignant poem about a lighthouse. It was guiding a boat full of terrified orphans to safety. I left...
