The Henry Miller Library
Founded by Emil White
‘Where Nothing Happens’
Marty and Ted came from Ames, Iowa. (see above 1965/they actually left in 1955) They have three daughters, Maya, Leanne and Carol. The family owned Ripplewood Resort starting 1955: Groceries, restaurant, gas station and motel…
Ted and Marty and I were sitting around the kitchen table, the refrigerator turns off and on in the background, and Ted is concerned about the truck in the driveway…
The Henry Miller Library guarantees all guests the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn. It is not the proper role of the Library to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive. There are many books and stories to read, to write, to tell, and to listen to.
We hope to learn from different ideas, why and how they come to be, and what values they’re premised on. To always critique and argue in good-faith. Some ‘binaries’ that we propose on our bookshelves are: Capitalism vs. Socialism | Keynesian economics vs. Classical economics | Deontology vs. Consequentialism | Empiricism vs. Rationalism | Liberalism vs. Conservatism | Democracy vs. Authoritarianism | Cartesianism vs. Darwinism | Realism vs. Romanticism | Classicism vs. Modernism | Objectivism vs. Relativism | Virtue ethics vs. Deontological ethics | Monotheism/Polytheism/Pantheism | Protestantism vs. Catholicism | Atheism vs. Theism
What a wonderful world!
