The Game of Confusion:
At the Navel of Philosophy

A philosophical novel at the navel of philosophy by Hellmut Monz, asking how to know clarity without confusing clarity with confusion.

  • The Game of Confusion Cover

Description

A philosophical novel where three dead philosophers become your roommates – and clarity hides in the center of confusion.

When Hellmut Monz moves into a Melbourne share house offering free rent in exchange for “digit logging,” he unknowingly becomes entangled in the world’s most disorienting philosophical experiment. His housemates? Plato’s Er, Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, and Jarry’s Faustroll – literary spirits still trying to escape the prison of thought.

Blending fiction, memoir, and pickle juice, The Game of Confusion spirals into the very question of reality itself. What begins as a bizarre research project becomes an existential jailbreak. Reality warps. Meaning disintegrates. And a single question echoes throughout the chaos: How can one know clarity – without confusing it with confusion?

A wild, subversive, and brain-bending debut that asks what it means to log reality in a world where fiction might be more honest than fact.

Hellmut "Helmet" Monz is the philosophy doctor with the mission of freeing philosophy. As an award-winning university educator and universe philosopher, he creates his work for those who love philosophy and seek infinity.

Born in Germany and raised in Austria, Hellmut went to Australia and Asia to find himself but had no success. Instead of himself, he stumpled upon something much better. Philosophically speaking, it is the best!
