The Philosopher-Critic Home Page


An early picture of Robert Arthur Paglia, the man who gave new meaning to the word terror. With his books, "The Dinosaur Murders" and "The Higher Men", Paglia explores the deeper end of the age old psycho-social paradox. What drives men to commit brutal acts and read philosophy?



The Higher Men

A series of coed murders has the authorities baffled. A brilliant college professor is outraged at current trends in vocationalism and is single-mindedly determined to restore the Humanities. A conscientous student, searching for wisdom, discovers a terrible truth that reveals his true priorities.

"The Higher Men" is a versatile book that can be read as a sheer thriller story or utilized as a classroom text for English, Philosophy, and Psychology courses. The novel is so composed as to generate a dialectical process for discussion of formal, academic ideas encouraging the Socratic method.

 



The Dinosaur Murders

Terror, Lust, Nietzche, Dinosaur masks, wooden clubs and psychoses. Yes folks, this novel has a little something for everyone. Why do two seemingly different male students BOTH have dinosaur masks hanging in their respective closets, unbeknownst to one another? And who is killing the young coeds at their college whilst wearing a dinosaur mask? Find out about what drives one young man to become the terrible Tyrannosaurus Rex in a blood orgy of mythic proportions. "The Dinosaur Murders", a true tale of terror from the crayon of Robert Arthur Paglia.
