L'enracinement dynamique

Wednesday 29 June 2016 at 7 pm

It is important to bear in mind that authentic thought does not arise ex nihilo. We are always the heirs of those who have gone before us. Standing on the shoulders of giants is no vain academic bon mot, but rather a salutary reminder of what we owe the masters of previous generations.

Thus it will be shown that from Saint Thomas Aquinas’s notion of habitus to Umberto Eco’s writings on medieval philosophy, thought always needs solid underpinnings to develop and take firm shape. That is the true rhythm of life: everything flows from one fixed point.

The banality of everyday life is an actualisation of that which has substance. Similarly, the contemporary imaginary can only be properly understood by reference to deep-rooted archetypes. Only by mastering the art of being retrospective can we be prospective. Is it not true that a prophet is a man who remembers the future?
