Silo: Collected Works, Volume I - Humanize the Earth, Guided Experiences, Contributions to Thought, Universal Root Myths, Day of the Winged Lion, ... My Friends, Silo Speaks

by Silo

This first volume of the collected works of Silo, one of the most profound and provocative writers of our time, presents us with a panorama that stimulates our thoughts, encourages our hearts, and inspires us toward transformative actions in the turbulent world of today. Humanize the Earth is three writings in poetic prose—"The Inner Look," "The Internal Landscape," and "The Human Landscape"—that address human existence from its most profound interiority to everyday life in the world. Guided Experiences are, at first glance, short stories with happy endings. At the same time, they may be appreciated as psychological practices based on an original literary form. Contributions to Thought consists of two essays of philosophical reflection, "Psychology of the Image" and "Historiological Discussions." Universal Root Myths was written with the interest of comparing the basic systems of tension in which the peoples who have formed the great myths of humankind have lived. Day of the Winged Lion is a collection of stories in the fantastic genre that, rather than carrying readers into the world of dreams, subtly brings them face to face with the central things in life. Letters to My Friends is a collection of ten "open letters" that expresses Silo’s sociopolitical philosophy in a form that is both critique and proposal for change—and has provoked a wide spectrum of sometimes conflicting opinions. Silo Speaks contains a selection of the author’s spoken words that spans three decades. Based on transcriptions of audio and video recordings and notes, the collection includes three sections—Opinions, Commentaries, and Speeches; Book Presentations; and Talks.
