W. Macneile Dixon

Has anyone ever heard of this philosopher? He was around the same time as Ayn Rand. He wrote a book entitled "The Human Situation" around 1935. He also wrote "Tragedy," "The Englishman," and "Hellas Revisited."

For anyone that's familiar with his works, I'd like to discuss him and his work. I think he's brilliant.

"All Finite things have their roots in the infinite, and if you wish to understand life at all, you cannot tear out it's context. And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies."

I read this quote he made, and I thought, what is this man talking about. But then as I read it slowly, I understood what he meant. He is quite a good philosopher, I haven't read any of his works. But if his quote is verbosly meaningful, then I will check it out.

He is talking about equality, and how everything has a place in the infinite chaos we call the universe.

Ismail can't 'google' the explanation to the quote. He can only 'google the quote itself - if you know what I mean.

Well thank you Mel, for your trust in my explanations.

Beyond: I am judging the man through his quote alone. And his quote alones speaks of the philosophy of many issues. I never read his book, alas, but seeing from his quote. I guess I will read it.
