Zura Shiolashvili’s writing has passion, and passion is a rare thing in English-language philosophy. He is also an exponent of the art of aphorism, using language to transcend the functional constraints of language itself.

A swine lies down in dirt by its own will; a genuine man, walking on his pathway can only be thrust into it. All who are made dirty are thus not swine.

Shiolashvili, The Prelude of Divine Wisdom in the Art of Aphorism, p. 92

I’m proud to have had a small input into the production of his beautiful book The Prelude of Divine Wisdom in the Art of Aphorism, which has received this excellent review by David C. Ford.
