Host A 12017 Rosenstock backward is Forward Expanded
Rosenstock once mentioned that Aquinas worked with
Aristotle, the Renaissance Plato, Erasmus toasted St. Socrates, Nietszche
emphasized pre-Socratics, etc.
Let’s add that anthropological studies , missionaries, and
late colonialism all worked with tribes.
Linnaeus did plants.
Darwin and Lyell were natural.
Then came astronomical efforts the culminated in a Big Bang
(an erstwhile humorism by Hoyle, who held to continuous creation of something small
in deep space) billions and billions (14.5?) of years ago.
Then subatomic particles, black holes, etc. were mentioned,
along with relativity, Heisenberg, Schroedinger, etc.—all pushing backward.
Then worked on was language and the speaker itself, with
deconstructionism of texts, punctuation, Gurri’s Fifth Wave of information, and
the fact that an individual human had 30# of other species of life in gut.
Now comes electric universe, and waves (Mumby) and gaia (sic, yes) to the universe
(Bloom who misses Augustine’s third Person)and being part of the whole.
Soon, some will get to Who is behind all this. They will see
and hear that they’ve gone as far back as they can, and with Eliot ’We shall
not cease from wandering, and then end of all that wandering shall be to arrive
back at where we started, and to know the place for the first time’. (paraphrase).
The Beatific Vision, the
Beatific Harmony, the Beatific Dance, the Beatific Opera—all will be
known ’For surely the Lord has made all things for Himself, even the wicked for
the day of calamity’.
