“We have no more beginnings,” George Steiner begins in this, his most radical book to date. A far-reaching exploration of the idea of creation in Western thought, literature, religion, and history, this volume can fairly be called a magnum opus. He reflects on the different ways we have of talking about beginnings, on the “core-tiredness” that pervades our end-of-the-millennium spirit, and on the changing grammar of our discussions about the end of Western art and culture. With his well-known elegance of style and intellectual range, Steiner probes deeply into the driving forces of the human spirit and our perception of Western civilization’s lengthening afternoon shadows.
Roaming across topics as diverse as the Hebrew Bible, the history of science and mathematics, the ontology of Heidegger, and the poetry of Paul Celan, Steiner examines how the twentieth century has placed in doubt the rationale and credibility of a future tense - the existence of hope. Acknowledging that technology and science may have replaced art and literature as the driving forces in our culture, Steiner warns that this has not happened without a significant loss.
The forces of technology and science alone fail to illuminate inevitable human questions regarding value, faith, and meaning. And yet it is difficult to believe that the story out of Genesis has ended, Steiner observes, and he concludes this masterful volume of reflections with an eloquent evocation of the endlessness of beginnings.

This one is superbio. An aid to fruitful reflection.

It takes a kind of heroic stupidity to lament the end of culture after a half century that gave us the Beatles, Terry Riley, H2G2 and J K Rowling.
Still, like most professional miserablists, George Steiner doesn’t mean the end of ‘culture’, he means ‘the end of what I’m comfortable with’.
I suppose we need to know about the whingers, as well as the makers; it’s increasingly the whingers who elect our governments.
Thanks, Haru55.

Bring back Maggie, eh? The Iron Delusion. Both miserable & bitter. Down with anyone who thinks differently - or thinks at all, in point of fact.
It takes a phenomenal amount of “stupidity” to refer to someone like George Steiner as stupid, but there you go. Ignore the whingers and fakers, Haru!
