The Dream Weaver: One Boy's Journey through the Landscape of Reality - eerste uitgave

"How sure can you be that you're not dreaming right now?" "Up until now, completely sure," I responded. "Dreams aren't really anything like reality. Dreams are, well, they're more "dreamy." You can just tell. Things happen in dreams that don't happen in reality. Usually, anyway." "An intriguing tale that will instill readers with an abiding sense of philosophical wonder. If you're smitten with "Sophie's World," you're sure to be entranced by "The Dream Weaver."" ~Christopher Phillips, Author, "Socrates Cafe" "Jack Bowen's novel is like traveling with Alice to a Wonderland inhabited by the greatest philosophers and scientists who ever lived...A triumph!" ~Wenda O'Reilly, Ph.D., President, Birdcage Press and Author, "The Impressionist Art Game" ""The Dream Weaver" is an outstanding how-to-think book... [This book] is a philosophical odyssey that tackles the mysteries of life, of science, and of the meaning of reality." ~Susanne Pari, Author, "The Fortune Catcher" Join 14-year-old Ian Pinkle through a series of strange experiences in this narrative exploration of philosophy. With the guidance of his mentor, the mysterious "Old Man," Ian, along with his parents and best friends, faces questions on major topics in philosophy: identity, knowledge, God, free will. By first presenting one view on the issues then proceeding to question that belief, this novel encourages readers to draw their own conclusions along with Ian.
