following brief
Centretruths editorial:–
The only reason there is an
orange
notebook 3 and not a green notebook 3 in this literary project having
markedly
philosophical overtones is that the first orange notebook was already
over
two-thirds full with previous literary material when I began to use it
for this
project, and that, since I wanted a balance, as far as possible,
between the
green and orange notebooks, both in terms of length and amount and
quality of
material contained within each of them, I opted to fill about
two-thirds of a third
orange notebook in my possession in order to compensate for the
comparative
brevity of the first notebook, thereby presenting the reader with
approximately
as much orange notebook material overall as green notebook material,
but
without any intention of suggesting a bias towards the orange at the
expense of
the green simply on account of the partially-filled additional orange
notebook.
The results, overall, are pretty interchangeable, in any case, since I
did not
consciously attempt to think or write, from an Irish standpoint, in a
more
'green' way with the green notebooks or in a more 'orange' way with
the orange
ones, even if sometimes a bias towards one or the other tendency could
be
inferred. What I wanted, and I believe achieved, was a framework that
allowed
me to think and write freely without undue concessions to either
colour (or
ethnicity), and somehow I succeeded, even at this late stage in my
literary
vocation, in both correcting a fairly long-standing philosophic error
of logic
(which need not be addressed here, since it will become fairly
self-evident
later on) and extending my philosophy to embrace an entirely new
perspective
which I believe to be of seminal importance in both understanding and
defining
contemporary civilization as an extension of Western civilization,
whether or
not one relates to it or has any ancestral connections with it. And I
have
achieved all this within a relatively short project, one which
transcends the
conventional printerly book bias towards
volume, not
to say mass, in the interests of aphoristic brevity and metaphysical
credibility within a literary framework more suited, I believe, to
eBook
publication on the Internet, not to say to philosophical truth, even
with other
considerations, often of a quite literary and even entertaining
nature, that
had to be considered along the largely time/pseudo-space way in which
the
subject of 'reservations', amounting to the thematic leitmotif of this
project,
was duly investigated from a number of angles in both the orange and
green
notebooks, with a view to enhancing my understanding of what it means
to be
'reserved'. – A Centretruths Editorial
