Why ‘3’ means three

In a recent blog post, I discussed the ancient Greek philosopher Plato and his theory about the existence of a ‘realm of forms’. Plato argued that the reason why we can identify objects as being of a certain kind (or category) is because they exist in their perfect form in a kind of non-material ‘realm’. Continue reading

Writing the Perfect Book

In today’s post, I’d like to reflect briefly on the process of writing, editing, and publishing a book, and how difficult that process is — especially for authors who are inclined towards perfectionism. The athlete who is to participate in a world championship will have spent a great deal of time in training, and perhaps… Continue reading

Thoughts After Reading the Qur’an

On several occasions in the past I have owned copies of the Qur’an, but read very little of it. This is because the translation from Arabic into English was very poor. Actually, I should note that to use the word “translation” when referring to an English version of the Qur’an is often considered incorrect by… Continue reading
