I felt pressed to get the 3rd edition of The Yoga Party: Philosophical Writings (the present edition) out because I thought it was important to be put in circulation. Unfortunately to get the most out of this edition one would invariably need a philosophy background, both West and East (most importantly in the East Sri Aurobindo).
Since I’m aiming for a release date for the 4th edition by 2010 it’s time for me to get crackin. In this edition I will include a index, glossary, and footnotes with in some cases short excerpts of the relevant philosophers.
I also have unpublished political writings and poetry if the demand presents itself for the second and third volume of the Yoga Party. I imagine the present third edition will be difficult and frustrating for some reading it now. Once again I published this early because I think the ideas needed to be out there so I hope you will forgive me for releasing such a difficult text.
I’ve listed recommended reading on Goodreads which will give an introduction to the main ideas of Idealism, Materialism, Rationalism and Empiricism. I encourage you to join my discussion group on Goodreads (listed at the top) where I can answer questions. I truly believe that my book presents ideas which are important and relevant to todays discourse.
So until 2010 (and afterwards of course) I am available for any questions you may have so please don’t be afraid to ask. As is listed previously the Third Edition of The Yoga Party: Philosophical Writings is available on Google Book Search for those that don’t have the buck to drop and have iron clad eyes. I wish you well. Otherwise the bound edition is on Amazon.
So now the annotated version is underway…
