Although I came to think up my philosophical symbolic system in 2002, the key ideas of the system had arisen between 1995 and 2002.

My philosophy developed as a symbolic system, as a result of an emphasis on the issue of the reject of violence. In order to express this emphasis, I decided to come up with an original way to express my protest against evil. According to my personal view, the symbolic system represents the highest and ultimate stage of intellectual protest against evil. Technically speaking, my sadness, due to the overwhelming and ever growing domination of evil throughout human history, became so strong that plain ordinary language would have not been sufficient in order to express such an emotional state.

Prior to 2002, I used metaphorical language (in my poems and songs) which is considered to be the second stage of protest, with plain language having represented the first stage. So, the symbolic system is the third and ultimate stage since it may be defined as an evolution of the metaphorical language I adopted in my poems and songs. In my musical and poetical material, the main focus is on the individual’s loneliness along with the huge gap between two completely opposite mentalities expressing respectively ordinariness of violence and its absurdity. Instead, these two aspects are not deeply investigated in philosophy, due to the fact that the latter aims at a more objective analysis of the world.

Furthermore, life experience seems to be the starting point of my literary and symbolic development, even though some differences should be pointed out. As for poems and songs, the language is more direct and comprehensible to the reader. Conversely, through philosophical analysis, I aim to speak about myself in an objective way that reaches its highest level in the symbolic representations. For this reason, concerning philosophical language, the understanding of the main contents is clearly more difficult than in poetry and music.
