Barfield, Briefly (Please correct this, Rich?) [Does not include History in English words, and more]
Evolution of Consciousness ( I prefer ADvolution, Aristotle's Final Cause)
'...the conscious collaboration with Christ in the economy of creation, which is to say, "Final Participation' 'What Barfield thought, 81
1--Originally man though of himself as part of nature, in that he could be of the lion tribe, or the wolf tribe, etc. This was forbidden in the Decalog.
2---In medieval times all was thought to be a theophany.
3--The Scientific Revolution considered nature to be independent enough, apart from man.
1-- and 3-- were idolatry, that is a misplacement of concreteness?
Words originally meant many things, and historically these different meaning have obtained different wordsl
Love in King Jesus,
Chuck
