Glimpse of Light

<i>I firmly believed there was a world outside of our own minds . . . But all around me were challenges. . . . How could we be so sure there were such things existing apart from us?<br/><br/></i>Philosopher Benedict Chilwell faces a crisis of confidence and hopes to resolve it in a self-imposed exile far away in the north of Norway. From his cabin he begins his meditations pondering the mysteries of philosophy in the dark Arctic winter. <br/><br/>Pride a whale love and lust the Huldra God and a chain of causes all interrupt Benedict's solitude. Could they prove his salvation? <br/><br/>In six days approaching the return of the light Benedict discovers a basis for certainty and tries his best to convince his hosts. Through doubts questions and reasoning Chilwell inadvertently follows in Descartes' footsteps. Will he be killed by the cold too; or will the warmth of Plato's sun save him in time?
