John Dunn original writing
Zarathustra by Nikolai Konstantinow. Roerich (1874 - 1947)
Foreshadowed by Prometheus and Zarathustra
So where has Gentile led us? If truth is to be found in thinking only, and if this criterion of truth is the Logos, then we are left with pure Logos. Is this the answer to my ‘who am I?’ question? I am pure Logos? But surely truth would never ask of itself - what is truth? Gentile’s Actualism was unable to account for the universally recognised fact that thinking is attached to the human individual, in fact, uniquely attached. Remember back to Ilyenkov’s conception of man as ‘substance that thinks’?
Does this mean that thinking adopts the individual in order to think? And if thinking is pure Logos, that must make me as an individual Logos incarnated. Could this really be the answer to the ‘who am I?’ question? Are we not relating to some core truth in the life of Jesus of Nazareth here, foreshadowed by Prometheus and Zarathustra and echoed in Dante and Coleridge?

Edward Thomas
Extracts from a long out-of-print monograph that I wrote about Edward Thomas twenty years ago entitled 'A Bleak but Honest Resolution'. But it's still on Kindle.

Just a thought:
That slavery and banking went together, and that they both found an environment in which to prosper in the Netherlands and Britain, is hardly new knowledge. That the mass migrations and the industrial scale of the slavery changed the way everyone has worked across the globe ever since is not so well known. John Dunn (Renaissance: Counter-Renaissance)

I will follow these routes and others by map and by cycling and motorcycling along the roads to unearth the archaeology of this ancient Gough map and the later accretions that followed in its path.
