Abstract

It is rare to see books whose titles compare them to philosophical masterpieces. In Hollywood, a sequel is most often a calculated, crass attempt to cash in on the financial success of a popular movie. Given this current usage, it is curious to take up the gambit of a sequel in less greed-driven areas of culture. An additional curiosity in the title is the metaphor of the owl as the sun rises, a reversal of the flight of the owl of Minerva. The first question a reader asks is, what sense do the phrases which compose the title make?
