You are welcome. Thank you for a thoughtful blogspace. I hope you have opportunity to read Velikovsky’s actual work. It is a fascinating study. And, the whole Kuhnian “Velikovsky Affair” of which I alluded in my comment, is just as, if not more, interesting. Enjoy.

I discover that he was into “comparative mythology”, which is of course one of my interests…

Thank you Dr. Bicker of Biola University for making this required reading. I hope you still are.

Another great, great thinker was Immanuel Velikovsky who wrote “Worlds in Collision”. Indeed, there is a link between Kuhn and Velikovsky. Velikovsky’s tragic experience is exactly what Kuhn says often happens to great scientific thought leaders who are willing to think outside an academic discipline’s confines. Unfortunately, Velikovsky did not experience the paradigm shift, his anomalic thoughts and study, could yet create.

I just read up on him, and he could be in two of The Hannibal Blog’s pantheons: that for story-tellers and that for thinkers….
