    About this ebook

    Creative Obsession is a modern apomary (a fusion of aphorisms, apothegms and apologues) which depicts a "boiling pot" of philosophy with astonishing succinctness.

    The fervent protagonist of Creative Obsession is Homer Dogg, “a hardcore traveler, an honest scholar and an infatuated artist.” The apomary spans Homer Dogg’s fleeting, peripatetic life, while unearthing a deep-rooted connectedness of aesthetic, epistemic and ethic thinking. Creative Obsession celebrates “creative people of all stripes, who live and work passionately, resiliently and with their eyes wide open.” It portrays philosophic life in broad daylight, for “the first-born of the Third Millennium.”

    “Homer Dogg says in ten sentences (sometimes less) what others don’t say in a whole book.”
    – F. W. Nietzsche

    “A literary, aporistic and, if you ask me, successful experiment in harnessing the broad powers of abductive logic.”
    – C. S. Peirce

    In 56 eclectic segments, Creative Obsession presents a pointillistic sketch of a wide-open philosophical landscape. So fire-up your faculties, hold on to your chair and read this book!
