Tale of the Qua: A Philosophical Comedy is the Aristophanic replay of my On Human Temporality: Recasting Whoness Da Capo, published by De Gruyter, Berlin 2024.
A tale about how the Western mind came to be dominated by gods scheming behind the scenes to seduce and misguide mortals. The mind has been locked into a mind-set that only access to the Qua key could unlock and change, but mortals have become oblivious to it. The goddesses opposing the hegemony of the scheming gods are at a disadvantage. One of them, the Goddess of Fairness, has an affair with a mortal from which the beautiful Aiona is born. Caught in the tension of being semi-divine, she becomes the protagonist for unravelling the secret of the Qua key, whose liberation and turning could free the mortal mind from its fixation on control and gain. The control of movement is epitomized by the cyberworld, an artificial world populated by algorithms that dictate what movements at all are possible. The god of three-dimensional time, 3T, could offer a way out, if only mortals could come to see that Tempus, the god of one-dimensional time, restricts their freedom.
