“We have evidence all around us in our daily analytic practice and in contemporary world history that this earth-shaking archetypal event is taking place here and now. It has already started. It is manifesting itself in international relations; in the breakdown of the social structures of Western civilization; in political, ethnic, and religious groupings; as well as within the psyches of individuals- the momentous event of the coming of the self into conscious realization.” WorldWellsSelfEarthPoliticalIndividualSocialGrowthReligiousPracticeEventsAcceptanceCivilizationConsciousEvidenceRelationStructureWesternInternationalContemporaryRealizationManifestWorld HistoryHere And NowShakingInternational RelationsBreakdownWestern CivilizationAnalyticsSocial StructurePsych Author:Edward F Edinger
“The great events of history are often due to secular changes in the growth of population and other fundamental economic causes, which, escaping by their gradual character the notice of contemporary observers, are attributed to the follies of statesmen or the fanaticism of atheists .” CharacterCausesGrowthEconomicEventsFundamentalsAtheistPopulationDuesContemporaryFollySecularObserversFanaticismStatesmenEscapingGreat Events Book:The Economic Consequences of the Peace Source: The Economic Consequences of the Peace
“(...) contemporary art has become a kind of alternative religion for atheists. (...) For many art world insiders and art aficionados of other kinds, concept-driven art is a kind of existencial channel through which they bring meaning to their lives. It demands leaps of faith, but it rewards the believer with a sense of consequence. Moreover, just as churches and other ritualistic meeting places serve a social function, so art events generate a sense of community around shared interests” WorldKindArtSocialInterestCommunityChurchEventsDemandArt IsConceptsConsequenceFunctionMeetingsRewardsAtheistDrivenBelieverContemporaryAlternativesLeapArt WorldLeap Of FaithInsidersContemporary Art Author:Sarah Thornton
“Above all, documentary must reflect the problems and realities of the present. It cannot regret the past; it is dangerous to prophesy the future. It can, and does, draw on the past in its use of existing heritages but it only does so to give point to a modern argument. In no sense is documentary a historical reconstruction and attempts to make it so are destined to failure. Rather it is contemporary fact and event expressed in relation to human associations.” GivingHumansDoeFactsUseProblemRealityPastModernDangerousEventsRegretDrawsArgumentRelationHistoricalContemporaryHeritageAssociationDocumentariesDestinedReconstructionPast Regrets Author:Paul Rotha

“There were the events of 1968 when young people began to ask their parents, what did you do in the war? And since the middle- or late-'70s, the French have been absolutely obsessed with the Vichy regime. They have an institute of contemporary history that turns out first-rate scholarly work.

“Plotinus, when he thinks about mind or intellect, the Greek word is 'nous', he thinks about something that's very different, it's much more elevated and special, more abstract, you might say more philosophical than the very broad range of mental events that we talk about in contemporary philosophy of mind.” ThinkingMindDifferentPhilosophyMightSpecialEventsPhilosophicalIntellectContemporaryRangeGreekAbstractBroads Author:Peter Adamson
