Description
Quaternary Essays - applying Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy to life and art celebrates, in part, the founding of the Quaternary Institute twenty years ago in 2000. The Quaternary Institute website www.quaternaryinstutute.com was established at the same time and Quaternary Imprint followed with the publication in 2005 of the four-volume 1760-page slip-case set William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy.
The opening essay first demonstrates how to use the Nature template derived from Shakespeare's 1609 Sonnets to critique nine major inconsistencies and prejudices in Tertiary thinking and then explores the reverse psychological techniques he uses to defuse them. In the second half, the remaining essays consider quaternary creativity, the female default, democracy and inadequacies in Tertiary pedagogy.

Person
Roger 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 plays 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 and has published further Volumes over the last few years. In 2021, Peters completed a fifty-year artistic project exhibited as Songs of the Earth (1975-2021).
