Roger PetersRoger Peters is an artist, philosopher and writer who lives and works in Taranaki, New Zealand. In 1995, he detected a profound and comprehensive philosophy in Shakespeare's 1609 Sonnets. The depth and scope of the insight explains why Shakespeare's lays and poems are increasingly relevant to today's global audience. Peters presented Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy in a 1760-page four-volume set William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy in 2005. Volume 1(Second Edition 2019) from the four-volume slip-case set examines the logical structure and poetic expression of the 154 sonnets from the 1609 Edition to show that the Sonnet philosophy is the basis for their meaning. It further reveals the prejudices upon which the traditional commentaries on the 1609 edition are based. Peters established the Quaternary Institute in 2001 as a pedagogic space for exploring and disseminating the insights arising from Shakespeare's unprecedented achievement. Read More Read Less
