The people of 1846 therefore have a prophecy for us: Don’t forget the creative and positive meaning of war…
The headache that this war will give us as a creature, as a creatura belli, as the liturgy of the Church would have to call it, as that ever newly created being called war, that is the topic of the next science, I’m sure, of the next great enterprise of the human mind. Whoever partakes in this task of mastering the reality of war and thereby then for the first time perhaps becoming able to subject it to arbitrary treatment, or to management whoever participates in this will belong to the people who have done repentance for the impotency of the last century in the life of the Church without prophecy, without crucifixion and without fulfillment which had to leave it to these disangelists to prophesy and to gospelize and to see fulfillment.
December 1, 1954
This is a remarkable and tightly knit lecture about how four 19th century thinkers disprove the notion that the scientific method (Greek thinking) is a valid basis for the analysis of social problems. They were prophets, but only negative ones. Rosenstock-Huessy says that Marx, Nietzsche, Darwin, and Freud force us to learn to deal with catastrophes. Two 1-hour lectures.
