> Contemplative Philosophy*. My cover idea is of an image of one hemisphere,
> inverted, on top of another, i.e. a bowl facing upward, atop a bowl facing
> downward. Here are some rough sketches I made:

> My initial thought was to find two matching hemispheres, and arrange them

> modernist, minimalist aesthetic. Two hemispheric glass bowls, or iron ones,
> or brass, or some other material. But I can find no such things, so far.

> turned upward, towards what Coleridge called reason, spirit, and ideas,
> with the lower hemisphere turned towards the things of the senses.)
