Roger Peters is an artist, philosopher and writer who lives and works in Taranaki, New Zealand. In 1995, he detected a profound and comprehensive philosophy in Shakespeare's 1609 Sonnets. The depth and scope of the insight explains why Shakespeare's plays and poems are increasingly relevant to today's global audience. Peters presented Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy in a 1760-page four-volume set William Shakespeare's Sonnet Philosophy in 2005. Peters established The Quaternary Institute and www.quaternaryinstitute.com website in 2000 to anticipate a level of learning beyond current Tertiary worldwide commensurate with Shakespeare's brilliantly consistent and comprehensive philosophy and his penetrating insight into mythic logic. Peters has now completed the 800,000-word commentary around a facsimile of the thirty-six plays from the 1623 Folio as published in this Volume (2022) and also available in full online at the Quaternary Institute website.
