... its subsequent confirmations, constitutes one of the most fascinating chapters in the entire history of thought; and it is one which is still unfolding. This paper can be no more than a sketch of a sketch of it. Those who wish to know more can best begin by reading "The Velikovsky Affair," ed. A. de Grazia. A book called Worlds in Collision was published in the USA in 1950. According to its author, Venus as a planet is only some 3,500 years old. The proto-planet, in effect an enormous comet, had originated, at some earlier time, by disruption from Jupiter. It moved for centuries on a very eccentric ...
52. AD: Chaos and Creation [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the stories, characters and adventures narrated by mythology concentrate on the active powers among the stars, who are planets. A prodigious assignment it may seem for those planets to account for all those stories and also to run the affairs of the whole universe." GIORGIO DI SANTILLANA and HERTHA VON DECHEND: Hamlet's Mill Chaos and Creation Alfred de Grazia Since he first became involved with Velikovsky's work over fifteen years ago as editor of "The Velikovsky Affair", Dr Alfred de Grazia has pursued researches ranging widely over the many disciplines affected by these revolutionary theories of repeated, cosmically-induced, worldwide catastrophes - catastrophes that occurred in the time of Man. This book is one of the first ...

54. Foreword to Recollections of a Fallen Sky [Books]
... actions of some scientists who denounced Velikovsky without even reading his work. Perhaps the men who did this really are saying that the truth is too awful; if the public knew they would be furious, and the great prestige accorded to the leading spokespersons for modern science would decline. The second paper in this volume, authored by Alfred de Grazia, discusses the origin of fear. De Grazia is an internationally recognized expert in politics and social systems. He became aware of Velikovsky because of the efforts made by Livio Stecchini, a professor of ancient history. Stecchini had tried to interest de Grazia not in the substance of Velikovsky's theories but in the political ramifications of the attack by ...
55. "Extra-Scientific" Dimensions of Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , with heavy religious overtones. IF THE CONTROVERSY which began with Worlds in Collision has spawned a wealth of publications dealing with various implications of IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY'S work and with the merits of his catastrophism vis-à-vis prevailing scientific notions, there is as well a growing assortment of efforts which attempt to explain the social dynamics of that dispute. Articles by DE GRAZIA, POLANYI, MULKAY, DOLBY, STORER, MARTIN, and my own recent efforts all take steps in this direction [1 ]. Readers of SISR are likely to be particularly familiar with a number of the above which have been printed, reprinted, discussed or otherwise reviewed in these pages [2 ]. Whatever useful insights may ...

... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART FOUR CHAPTER TWELVE The Third World of Science For a decade from the appearance of Worlds in Collision, no quantavolutionary circle existed in the world. V. s correspondence with his readers was voluminous. Immanuel and Elisheva were socially active for several years, but no scholar who could be said to be of catastrophist persuasion was a frequent correspondent or friend. In July 1956, Claude Schaeffer, author of the monumental comparative study of archaeological levels of destruction wrote Velikovsky his appreciation of receiving from him a copy of Earth in Upheaval. V. had used Schaeffer's work in preparing the book. In 1957, ...
57. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... the notion that Akhnaton, rather than being the precursor of Moses, was actually the prototype of the legendary Oedipus. Velikovsky, abandoning his other projects, began preparing his response at once, although it would take him more than twenty years to find sufficient substantiating evidence to publish his thesis equating Akhnaton with Oedipus. (9 ) Alfred de Grazia, who would one day play Jung to Velikovsky's Freud, wrote that Velikovsky was angered over the unpardonable disservice Freud had done to his fellow Jews by depriving them of their great invention, monotheism. (10) Although de Grazia (probably anachronistically [Warner Sizemore to Vorhees, March 16, 1987]) claimed that Velikovsky, like ...

... also responsible for the inability and at times the outright refusal of science to recognise the overwhelming evidence pointing to the catastrophic past of the Earth and the entire Solar System, and, in part at least, for the actions of some scientists, who denounced Velikovsky without even reading his work. "The second paper, authored by ALFRED DE GRAZIA, an internationally recognised expert in politics and social systems, discusses the origin of fear. While preparing the special issue of the American Behavioral Scientist devoted to the scientific community's reactions to Velikovsky's revolutionary cosmology, de Grazia developed an interest in his theories which has culminated in several investigations into the origins of human nature and the development of human ...

... scientific supporters from the platform leaving Velikovsky alone to face four specialists in seven hours of gruelling debate. The standing ovation granted to him by the 1400-strong audience leaves no doubt as to the verdict of the witnesses. Dr Velikovsky was working and studying until the day of his death. His accumulated correspondence and work in progress form what Alfred de Grazia has called "the greatest archive in the history of science", and under the supervision of Velikovsky's close colleagues these writings will eventually be made available to stimulate the enquiring minds of future generations. Velikovsky spoke particularly to the young, a Princeton lecture typically concluding: "I call you to cross the barriers between sciences .. . ...

... , not entitled to the treatment accorded a peer. Both ignored the violence of the scientific community's reaction to Velikovsky, the ruined careers, the intimidating letters, the boycott of Macmillan's textbooks. Both seem to be unaware of the far ranging implications of Velikovsky's work to all of man's endeavors and the possible cost implicit in ignoring him. De Grazia outlined these implications in his Montreal address in January 1975.(25) Two notable passages relate: But the fear and the anxiety produced now by one, and then by another, catastrophe could not be forgotten and surged repeatedly to the surface of consciousness. The massive collective anxiety was displaced onto many different subjects, heightened the attention ...

... warning sign of trouble ahead; one cannot move Martian events to the fourth century; one may not give Ramesses III a special "Peoples of the Sea" of his own. The Glasgow chronology may find its clincher by research of Martian-Period disasters in Egypt, possibly finding the evidence around the time of Merenptah or Ramesses III. ALFRED DE GRAZIA Research Professor of Social Theory New York University Catastrophic Spelling Sir, When Dr Alfred de Grazia's talk to the Society of 26th April 1980 was reported (under my editorship) in SISR, his version of neo-catastrophism - a theory of evolution occurring in leaps coaeval with recountable catastrophic episodes - was referred to as "quantevolution" (SISR IV ...

... A . Milani and A. M. Nobili, "Resonance locking between Jupiter and Uranus", Nature 310 (30 August 1984), pp. 753-755 ] . Such resonances usually indicate long-term stability of the system. They would not be expected to exist in a system on the order of 10,000 years old and, de Grazia and Milton's Solaria Binaria ( 1984) notwithstanding, the theory required to establish an electromagnetic rationale for the essentially instantaneous imposition of such resonances is not developed sufficiently enough to warrant a proper quantitative evaluation. At Glasgow (and San Jose), Bass also discussed the work of Hatch and Steinhauer presented in D. W. Patten's The Long ...

... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIFTEEN The Jupiter Order When Thor, the Scandinavian Jupiter, went into battle, and would grasp the handle of his terrible weapon, the thunderbolt or electric hammer, he was obliged to put on his iron gauntlets. He also wears a magical belt known as the "girdle of strength", which, whenever girded about his person, greatly augments his celestial power. He rides upon a car drawn by two rams with silver bridles, and a wreath of stars encircles his awful brow. His chariot has a pointed iron pole, and the spark-scattering wheels continually roll over ...
70. Collective Amnesia and the Catastrophic Basis of Soap Opera (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... if this is indeed so, the process by which the soap opera achieves this goal will be found to be different from the process engendered by great art- different in form, that is, but not in function. A useful insight into the possible workings of the process may be found in the analysis of myth offered by Alfred de Grazia, who explains them as the consequence of our need to repeatedly recall the Velikovskian planetary disorders in disguise so that we can repeatedly re-forget them. In "The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory,"(10) de Grazia argues, after Velikovsky, that the disturbed survivors of the devastating holocausts which occurred thirty-five and twenty-seven centuries ago would ...

... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Time, Electricity and Quantavolution With the model of Solaria Binaria constructed here along the lines of short-time electrical quantavolution, we have presented physical and cultural evidence of several major historical happenings, as well as some lesser events that need not be summarized here. 1. The succession of great gods in human history coincides with a succession of ages of destruction and renewal that may tentatively be numbered at seven. These are carried in Table 6. 2. Human nature originated abruptly with a complex culture in the first age of binary instability, precipitated by electrical and hormonal changes, ...

73. Micah's Ark [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FOUR Micah's Ark Velikovsky persuasively traces the ruins of Baalbek to the ancient seat of a fine city constructed during the reign of Solomon [1 ]. Baalbek, too, was the second capital of Dan. "The Danites, migrating to the north, took with them Micah and his idol, and it was placed in Dan of the North." (3 .14) The Oracle of Micah probably was set up in the "house of high places," a temple that was built at Dan by Jeroboam "to contest and to surpass the temple of Jerusalem." ( ...

... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER THREE The Love Affair as the Mask of Tragedy The song is sung. The play is over. Now the question is, "What does it represent?" It represents, I think, and I must take the rest of this book to explain myself, a shocked spell amidst conditions of horrifying natural disaster. The Greeks experienced it, suppressed its memories, remembered it subconsciously, and converted it ultimately into the symbolic form of a comedy. The Greeks assumed the Love Affair took place in the sky nor could it have any other location. The gods move ...
