Description

The Next Joy and the Next: A Mythology in Twenty-One Lessons is both a mythos and a value system designed by philosopher and author Stephen Evans to help comprehend (insofar as possible) our life and the cosmos in which we live, and to discover and appreciate the joys that life offers. A Word about Myths (from the Prologue): When I was a freshman at Georgetown University, I walked into the campus bookstore and began browsing, as I often did at bookstores when I had the chance. Bookstores felt like a kind of spiritual home to me then (and still). I think I was in the Philosophy section (my spiritual kitchen, to continue the metaphor) when I spotted a small book by Spenser Brown called The Laws of Form. I opened the book and read the first line, which said: "Draw a distinction". In an instant, I understood that everything I thought I knew and everything I knew I thought were wrong. Incomplete. Illusion. I have spent the rest of my life (so far) trying to understand what is behind the illusion.
