Subject: Time and time and timelessness

[Glenn Scheper]

The general movement of Altizer’s thought in Mircea Eliade and the Dialectic of 
the Sacred begins with Eliade’s distinction between the sacred and the profane, 
moves beyond Eliade via a vertiginous dialectic, and after scattering, 
tornado-fashion, seven or eight prospects in its zigzagging path, settles upon 
Norman 0. Brown and the Nietzsche of "Eternal Recurrence" as indices to a 
properly dialectical coincidentia oppositorum of the sacred and profane. 
Centering on the associations between Eliade, Brown, Nietzsche, and Altizer, we 
will seek to appraise the validity of Altizer’s proposed coincidentia in the 
mode of temporality, probably the most crucial one, and certainly representative 
of his project as a whole.
