It’s a rhetorical question. It’s a theoretical question.  But, don’t you ever have a glimmer in the dimmest recesses of your soul that we may have encountered this problem before?  Perhaps far, far away….a  long, long time ago…. How did we handle it then?  Or, did we fail to handle it at all?  Either way, here we go again, my godly friends.  Here we go again.  What do we do now?

“Of the Western philosophers, I have been influenced most by Plato, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche as well as the historian Jacob Burckhardt. But they did not influence me as much as Indian and, later, Chinese philosophy. I have always been on familiar and friendly terms with the fine arts, but my relationship to music has been more intimate and fruitful. It is found in most of my writings.”
