I promise not to waste your time: the four essays to be found here--only 48 pages in all--are truly "lean and mean", if I may say so myself.

But then they were always intended for an audience of no-nonsense people who appreciate original, rigorously thought-out and coherent sets of ideas, and conversely, who don´t at all appreciate intellectual mud-baths, no matter how fashionable the "spas" offering them may be.

The internet is obviously the perfect instrument for the purpose of reaching as many such people as possible, and the fact that you, my esteemed reader, have arrived at this website, proves that this purpose is well on its way to being realized!

Thanks for your kind attention
and With best regards,
