"It might be said with some truth that he must be armoured in robur et aes triplex who essays the comparison between Hebrew and Greek thought. . . . The Scandinavian professor who has written this challenging book appears to be such a paragon. . . . A particularly interesting section of the book is devoted to a comparison between Hebrew and Greek conceptions of Time and Space. . . . Valuable and original."—Times Literary Supplement

Descrizione libro Paper Back. Condizione: New. First published in 1954, this little book is a study of a distinction with incalculable historical and philosophical consequences. It goes to the very foundations of why Hebrew and Greek thought are different from one another, a radical investigation that is mostly about language and its shaping of mind. Boman looks at fundamental categories -- dynamic or static thinking as reflected in different concepts of ''Word'' and ''Being,'' varying ways of describing the appearances of things, of describing time and space -- and then wonders how these often divergent habits of thought merged to form the Western intellectual tradition. Mentioning Niels Bohr's teaching that atomic structure must be described as both wave and particle -- a contradictory yet necessary assertion -- Boman concludes with his own memorable assertion: ''In that sense, Hebrew and Greek thinking are complementary; the Greeks describe reality as being, the Hebrews as movement. Reality is, however, both at the same time; this is logically impossible, and yet it is correct.''. Codice articolo 64946
