Ian:

What is the main point of these books?

Me:

To posit looking within as the path to knowledge about ourselves and the world around us. This reinvigorates Self to new approaches in purpose.

Ian:

Is it fair to say this is a book on sociology?

Me:

Yes and No. It begins by defining the individual as a thinking and feeling being. Hence it’s philosophical. It proceeds to identify interference from others as a disruption to our being. Hence it’s sociological. Acknowledging the consequences of truth involved in reconstruction changes behaviour. Hence it’s psychological.

The books use photographs throughout to emphasise feeling and understanding. Hence its artistic. Its interviews answer questions in the first person. Hence its autobiographical.

It calls upon philosophers and scientists to rethink their basic premises of life on Earth. To look at plants, animals, Self and others differently. Hence its academic.
