PERCEPTIONS: … philosophical essays about the illusion of the self
Bu e-kitab haqqında
Me and Arij … try to define life.
We do it … almost … as a hobby.
We became without even realizing … what some people would define as … philosophers.
But we feel more … just … ordinary persons … that simple can’t stop thinking of the meaning of life.
Our own lives … but also of life in general.
And all we write … it’s kind of a philosophical dance.
A mix of perceptions …. very well synchronized.
The perceptions of an … ordinary man … and the one of an amazing … young … feminine spirit.
And the question that might come into your mind … could probably be … what it’s the purpose of this book?!
Why did you bothered to write it?!
Well … first of all … cause we love talking about philosophy … but also give the others the impulse of realizing anyone has the right and the power to talk about the existence of the human being.
Starting the philosophical journey … talking about contradictory issues …. might be … weird … difficult … but
also … annoying.
But time will pass … and continuing walking into this path … we get used …
We start enjoying it …
And then …. we believe … we found the absolute truth.
I smile … cause i did that one million times.
On and on … and on.
Later … changing my perceptions … into a totally contradictory direction … i realized the illusion of all those thoughts and believes.
Today … all i am doing with Arij … it’s almost for fun.
It’s like we would tell you that we decided to go fishing and enjoy the day … but …. our hobby it’s not about fishing, but about … philosophy.
It’s about a path … that we believe that will reveal us the meaning … of life.
All we write about … are simple … perceptions.
… our own perceptions… from a certain period of our lives.
Nothing more …
… nothing less.
But … we continue doing it.
Nobody could judge us … cause it’s all about a hobby of ours.
And you all … have this fundamental right of analyzing and defining the world too.
No one is allowed to … judge you.
Express your self …
Dare to do it … in silence or … very load.
Even Kant’s ideas … or Rumi’s ideas … and all the other great thinkers … were just … perceptions.
So ….
Join us … on this philosophical path … and ….
Who knows?!
Maybe the real secrets will be revealed to you … quite soon.
Much sooner as you might expect ….

Müəllif haqqında
I’ve started to write my first book at 16 … but then … realizing i could not publish it … i’ve abandoned the idea of being a … writer.
20 years later … i’ve started to write again … believing i will finally succeed … but i’ve failed one more time … not getting the success i was chasing for.
Another 5 years later … i’ve started one more time to write … but this time … more as a therapy.
It’s what i’ve defined as … self therapy.
I was analyzing and defining lots of weird ideas … that were a lot related to me … and my own soul.
I totally forgot that i was chasing for success.
I was simple writing my thoughts … in essays … becoming this way … maybe not a writer …. but what many define as … an essayist.
This is not a poet … and not a writer.
Or maybe is kind of a poet that is incapable of writing poetry … but is still expressing his thoughts … into a similar way … as a poet.
And is not a writer … cause have not the ability to write for too long time … about the same subject.
But maybe i am not an essayist… either.
I am just an ordinary person … that could be better defined … as a thinker.
Analyzing … and defining my life … practicing this process called … self therapy … i started to understand life … and the way to better paths which i should follow.
And i’ve wrote … and wrote … and wrote … realizing one day that i’ve published tens of books …. not really understanding how the hell I’ve succeeded doing that.
Today i dare to recommend writing … as a therapy.
I could even say … it’s a simple way of understanding who we are … but also a process that could help us … heal our souls.
I personally continue to … write.
It’s in fact … a non ending story that … at least for myself … will probably continue for the rest of my life.
But over all … i am glad … i am doing it.
I continue my philosophical journey … not being able to define myself for clear as a writer or an essayist… but …
Well …. most probably… i am on a good path.
And … i would dare to recommend to everyone … all what i am doing today.
