I am going to take a fantastic leap here by saying that what Rudolf Steiner brought forth beginning in 1900 was designed to create a new paradigm that Thomas Kuhn came upon some 63 years later, and yet, he never heard of Rudolf Steiner. So, what does this mean? Kuhn had the audacity to see the working of so-called "paradigm-shifts" in the eras of the scientific revolution, which are commonly called the Renaissance and Enlightenment, c. 1500-1800 AD. Yet, he failed, as his predecessor, Robin Collingwood, to see the real dimension of history. Only Owen Barfield in 1957 comes forth to save the day on behalf of Steiner. So, this is an extremely important and perceptive essay.
Yet, according to Steiner, we can trace a history going back to earlier, more primordial times. For example, at the time of Christ, two thousand years ago, we have the figures of Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, who are given special account in the Gospel of John. Now, what if it can be shown that these two reincarnated in the 20th century for a special mission? It is still the same history that Kuhn and Collingwood speak about from the past. Yet, this becomes the history of the future. It comes from a source that is accessible to all. The Akashic Records are available there.
Are you familiar with Errol Morris' book about Thomas Kuhn, "The Ashtray"? Morris is the documentary filmmaker of such works as, "Fog of War", which is about Robert McNamara, and one about Fred Leuchter, who denied the Holocaust based on evidence. Very few people talk about Thomas Kuhn at all today, and I had not heard of Robin Collingwood. So, Max, you do some excellent work, and it inspires me. I tend to write when I hear it, but l always need to know more. We live in a very small frame of reference known as the internet. As such, it signifies the end. Once were vast libraries and even on a public level as late as the 1990's. No more.
