| Summary: | Time's unfolding provides wider, better frames of understanding for the history of ideas. Negligible ripples on the placid surface of one age may from another vantage point be harbingers of momentous disruption. By contrast, considered from the safe distance of a latter-day scholar's armchair, prima facie revolutionary ideas may prove continuous with rather than transformative of their milieu. Judgments either way vary as the passage of time and alterations of interest bring forth new interpretive possibilities., Precisely such new hermeneutical insight abounds in The Persistence of the Sacred in Modern Thought. |
