Existential Philosophy

“This isn’t an enterprise concerned with talking about existential therapy and creativity. It is, instead, and much more importantly, a co-operative immersion into a receptive atmosphere where the living, breathing, moment-by-moment, creative flow awakens both the authors and the readers of this fascinating text to their existence and all its ordinary and extraordinary possibilities.” Ernesto Spinelli – Foreword to Dialogue on the place of creativity in Existential Therapy

Intellectual suicide corresponds to the more or less conscious decision to switch off the brain and renounce rational thought in favor of attitudes dictated by superstitions, by established habits, by prejudices, by common places. The effects of irrational choices – made with the brain switched off – can be devastating for oneself and for others. Examples range from conformism to religious superstitions and ideological fundamentalism, just to name a few possibilities. Tommaso, the protagonist of this debate, is the victim of his parents’ intellectual suicide, perpetrated through ...

This is a small collection of my best poems, which I started writing over thirty years ago. My poems break down into three general categories: God, Existential, and Love. I try to make a concrete point with all of my poems; in fact, my poem titled "Poems" defines exactly what my poems entail. I appreciate complexity, so the majority of my poems also rhyme. My poems about God include some of my Christian beliefs, but they don't stop there; most of them are philosophical in nature. My existential poems are wide and varied, discussing topics ranging from frequency, time, and the enigmatic ...
