The Crying of Lot 49 Group Read

[Mark Kohut]

Later reflection......"Logic...fitting it all together tightly".....the
thing about Logic is
that it all depend on the premises.......to fit together a revelation is to
find the premises
to believe the revelation.....this read it reminds me of the "logic' of the
Middle Ages worldview--
All of Acquinas's "logical' Catholic foundational worldview fit the
'revelation"......

So, again, tangentially, TRP has here all compact, the observation (In V
too) that THAT worldview
is defunct......that revelation is no revelation......
