Project Gutenberg 2004-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 192 Eliot, T. S. (Thomas Stearns) 1888 1965 Eliot, Thomas Stearns Eeldrop and Appleplex Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "Eeldrop and Appleplex" by T. S. Eliot is a philosophical dialogue written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the complexities of human experience and individuality, framed through the conversations of two men, Eeldrop and Appleplex, as they grapple with the essential nature of human existence and the meaning of life in a world filled with classifications and societal expectations. The book tackles heavy themes of identity, perception, and the essence of reality, blending elements of both existential thought and social critique. In the narrative, Eeldrop and Appleplex are two peculiar characters who retreat to a detached existence in a quiet, disreputable part of town. They engage in reflective conversations that dissect the nature of humanity and the ways in which individuals are often reduced to stereotypes. Through their discussions about various subjects, including the enigmatic figure of Edith, they ponder the significance of unique experiences versus generalized classifications. Eeldrop, a skeptic with theological knowledge, and Appleplex, a materialist interested in social analysis, explore their contrasting perspectives on individual lives, revealing a deep-seated desire to understand the human soul in its authentic form rather than through the lens of societal labels. Ultimately, the book presents a meditation on the search for meaning within the constraints of modern life and the desire for true connection amidst overwhelming classification.
