- This work was given as the Marvin B. Anderson Lectures at the Social
Science Research Institute of the University of Hawaii at Manoa; it
was subsequently published as Chapter 3 in my book Pacific
Shift (San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1985). The final development
of this theory, “Literary and Archetypal Mathematical Mentalities
in the Evolution of Culture” will be published in 2003 or 2004
in the Journal for Consciousness Studies.

- There is one edition available in English. See Jean Gebser, Ever-present
Origin, trans. Noel Barstad with Algis Mickunas (Athens, OH:
Ohio University Press, 1991). There is a German paperback of selected
works, Jean Gebser, Ausgewählte Texte
(München: Goldmann Verlag, 1987); and the complete works are available
in a boxed set as Jean Gebser, Gesamtausgabe
(Schaffhausen, Switzerland: Novalis Verlag, 1986).

Impact and Middle Eastern Response (New York: Oxford University

- See Walter Benjamin, “Paris, die Hauptstadt des XIX Jahrhunderts,”
in Illuminationen: Ausgewählte Schriften
(Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp, 1974). Surprisingly, Patrice Higonnet,
in his Paris: Capital of the World (Cambridge,
MA: Harvard University Press, 2002) misses the significance of Poincaré
and chooses the year 1889 to mark the end of the mythic era of Paris.
His point of view is too narrowly political and literary, and a much
more sensitive understanding of the importance of science to art is
to be found in Arthur I. Miller’s Einstein
and Picasso: Space, Time, and the Beauty that Creates Havoc (New
York: Basic Books, 2001); see especially his Chapter 4, “How Picasso
Discovered Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon,
pp. 85–127.
