SYMPOSIUM
Edgar Allan Poe and the Spirit
of the American Republic

To this day, Edgar Allan Poe’s Life is shrouded in mystery and controversy, and he remains one of the most maligned individuals in the early history of our post-Revolutionary republic. But Poe was one of America’s greatest intelligence officers and literary geniuses, in a tradition that stretched from the Founding Fathers to Abraham Lincoln’s American System victory in the Civil War. Lour Symposium presents the fruits of a dialogue that spans nearly thirty years and two generations, and includes Allen Salisbury’s seminal ‘Edgar Allan Poe: The Lost Soul of America.’

Of British Fools and Post Reviewers

Taking off from a recent Washington Post review of Cold War Strategy, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. examines the issue of national and international strategic policy for today’s global crisis, from the interrelated, long-term perspective of economics, history, and their cultural determinants in the classical arts and sciences.

‘Icarus, Daedalus, and Science’

What may surprise us in looking at Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting, Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, is that we must search carefully before finding Icarus, although he is the principal character of the work. It’s as if he were ‘drowning,’ one might say, in the painting. Although all the other representations of this myth, without exception, make this story the visual center of their works, in showing the falling Icarus, Bruegel decided, on the contrary, not to use this spectacular image. Rather than grieving over the tragic fate of Icarus, the artist wants us to interest ourselves in other things. So, what is it we do see?

The Non-Infinite,
Self-Bounded Universe

In locating the conical functions—circular, elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic—from the standpoint of a unified conception of the physical, biological, and cognitive domains of astronomy, Johannes Kepler was advancing the process, begun by Nicolaus Cusa, of returning science to the higher conceptions of the ante-Euclidean Greeks, and presaging the later achievements of Abraham Kästner, C.F. Gauss, and Bernhard Riemann. This meant purging science of the pernicious effects of the slavish acceptance of Euclidean geometry.
