A.D. Pt. 2 = A vessel of collected fury and collected desire.  Linking end-situations with beginning-situations and processing the undigested problems of history. 

AD....Some call it 🄰pollonian & Ⓓionysian.. others Eros & Thanatos, Order & Entropy, Object & Subject, 🄰ngel…Ⓓevil…, elsewhere Form & Content, Stem & Flower…Freedom & Necessity. 

Part 2: 26 unique and far-flung voices from the past make up an imaginary conference approaching practical means for bridging these age old gaps and overcoming the isolated and exaggerated formations of fixed duality through creative intervention. As insights that remain valid today, the past becomes a conscious part of the present, a living toolkit to help us make leaps towards the not-yet.

Recovering the split between hand and head.

As the motor of transformation, stereo-conceptions overcome what has been severed, (humanity & nature, reality & imagination, past & present, materialism & spiritualism, quality & quantity, determinism & chance, status quo & change). Putting each (false) side into oscillation, they cease to be antinomies through practice. 

A.D. says duality is in fact naiveté. Absolving abstract dualisms for a comprehensive viewpoint.  Recognizing the whole of things is to consider everything that happening between the poles.

"Texts that shall survive their time" - for use by new generations that still wrestle with the same fundamental struggles. 

A.D. is an approach and a joining together. A prerequisite for cooperative relations.  The moral of the story and the meaning of life. When faced with a choice, do both (without compromise).

With continual reflection is the possibility for perpetual beginnings against intellectual and practical domination and control.
