================================================ Subject: Re: Way NCR - philosophy question From: "Jackson Crawford" To: Date: Mon 30 Apr 2001 15:05:59 -0500 ================================================ Once again, here comes the fearless list philosopher to save the day! Perpetual recurrence and universal extra-engenderment so somewhat contradict each other, because hypothetically perpetual recurrence would by nature lead right back to the original primitive state eventually, causing an "other" engenderment. Now, it is possible that he believed that there had to have been an ultimate cause of this cycle, and an ultimate effect - such sentiments were common amongst humanistic philosophers. But really, I think that his belief in an ultimate cause was more psychologically than philosophically oriented, because he was, recall, insane, and his belief that there was some sort of higher power giving him purpose was probably the only thing that kept him alive in his later years. He was a genius though, and one to whom Corvism and I owe a great debt. Anyway, I don't know how much more to write on the subject - if you need more information, or if I've completely missed the mark (you're not testing me or anything, are you?), write for such.
