Description
We can gain in life,Through money and contract,Through spirit and unity,Or through worth and dedication.Ronnie Lee continues to push philosophy in a whole new direction with his sixth book of poetry. This seminal work unifies Lee's previous efforts into one remarkably ambitious collection, aiming at nothing less than establishing a better world?é?for all of us. The Philosopher King: The Philosopher-Poet and Utopia gathers dozens of Lee's free-verse poems on subjects as diverse as finance and morality. Together, they reveal the core essence of a more humane world in which business, politics, science, and love all work together to fulfill our deepest psychological needs. The society hinted at is one governed by a more just, moral framework in which our corporeal world and spiritual existence fuse into a harmonious co-existence that respects humanity in all its forms. Lee brilliantly shows the prosperous future we will ultimately claim when we approach the business of life with the heart of a poet.
