Part One, 'The Philosophical History', focuses on the suppression of Plato's Academy in the early 6th century, followed by its disastrous relocation to the court of Khusrau in Persia. Part Two, 'Actants, Conatus', is rooted in contemporary Canada, albeit with a cast of characters that include Augustine, Christ, Duns Scotus, Aelred of Rievaulx and even Kepler himself. These two apparently disparate sections are connected by their preoccupation with loss - with 'beauty infiltrated everywhere' - and by a feeling of political disaffection at the demise of certain sustaining paradigms. \u003cem\u003eHarmonia Mundi \u003c\/em\u003eis a timely and darkly visionary text, which, amid the spreading collapse of the world around us, clings to a single, urgent truth: 'You must hate \/ nothing'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Lilburn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 191639356X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916393561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xylem Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.18d","brand":"Tim Lilburn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074973724927,"sku":"9781916393561","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae34453a-a107-4d7c-9b65-fb189de550e3.jpg?v=1685456865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/harmonia-mundi-tim-lilburn-9781916393561","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
