The just-released fall issue of the Schiller Institute journal Fidelio features, through the lens of Renaissance scientist and statesman Cardinal Nicolaus of Cusas achievements, a thorough-composed presentation of the critical cultural issues confronting the world as it enters the Post-Cheney Era of the 21st Century.
Like Cusa, whose seminal works united the seeming disparate disciplines of statecraft (Concordantia Catholica); experimental science (De Docta Ignorantia, Learned Ignorance); and religious ecumenicism (De Pace Fidei, The Peace of Faith), within the coherent framework of mans participation in Gods ongoing creation, so Lyndon LaRouche expands this arena of consideration to include the sciences of history and physical economy in his groundbreaking June 2005 Mans Original Creations, whose section headings include the provocative Economy as Art and Physical Science, Irony: The Classical Principle in Art, Life as Art: The Principle of Tragedy, and Economy as Humanism.
With consummate skill, LaRouche brings the reader to experience, for himself, the liberating power of mans discoveries, as he traces the presence of irony, or paradox, as the driver for the higher-level transformationsprogresswhich characterize our universe. LaRouche culminates in a stretto that unites the physical sciences, Classical artistic composition, and the science of physical economy:
The most significant expression of the impact of the past upon the present and future, is the impact of the present generations experiencing the past discoveries in universal physical principle and in Classical artistic composition, as the way in which the future generations are produced. The latter action, within a simultaneity of eternity so defined, is the true determinant of value, as a process of becoming, rather than a completed effect of the present moment to date.
- Interreligious Dialogue -
Several contributions complement LaRouches essay from differing perspectives, while they open up areas of their own consideration. Foremost amongst these is Interreligious Dialogue and Jewish-Christian Relations, a 1998 symposium presentation by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) which, like LaRouches Mans Original Creations, takes as its starting point the work of Nicolaus of Cusa. Here, in very condensed fashion, Cardinal Ratzingerone of the architects of the ecumenical outreach of the great Second Vatican Councilnot only reviews the coherence of the Western, monotheistic religions, with special emphasis on Judaism and Christianity, but poses the question of the encounter between these religions and the religions of the East, all the while holding out the promise of Cusas De Pace Fidei, that the search for universal truth does not divide, but rather unifies mankind at its highest and most human level. Thus we find, in a theological argument concerning the faith of Israel and its Christian articulation, the following striking parallel to LaRouches scientific insight:
The three dimensions of time are thus connected: obedience to Gods will bears on an already spoken word that now exists in history and at each new moment has to be made present again in obedience. This obedience, which makes present a bit of Gods justice in time, is oriented toward a future when God will gather up the garments of time and usher them as a whole into his justice. Christianity does not give up this basic configuration.
Readers will also find, in the discussion of the encounter of Eastern and Western religions, a convergence of concern with LaRouche over the question of Asian culture, as an issue of crucial strategic importance today, given the task of reconstructing the world economy over the generations immediately ahead.
- Music, Poetry, Art -
Three other feature articles, each with its own complex integrity, complete the issue.
Lastly, the issue includes a translation of the full text of Nicolaus of Cusas treatise De Pace Fidei.
