... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 2: (Spring-Summer 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IV" Home | Issue Contents From the Editor Ages in Chaos Our first issue in the current series contained a remark that "The scope of Velikovsky's work as an interdisciplinary scholar easily overwhelms a reader. We do not here pretend to offer more than a fragmentary look at that work. Velikovsky's opus magnum, Ages in Chaos, is not even discussed. . ." Nor was it discussed, except as a footnote, in the next two issues, which focused largely on physical and astronomical matters. But in this our fourth issue (and in the fifth as well) we ...
422. Odin [Journals] [Kronos]
... Odin Dwardu Cardona Copyright 1984 by Dwardu Cardona Odin (or Othin) and Woden (or Woutan or Wodan), in their many variants, were names of the same god. To the Germanic peoples, the name was Woden or Wotan; to the Scandinavians, including the Icelanders, it was Odin. In Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky identified Odin/ Woden as the planetary god Jupiter/Zeus.(1 ) But, in the same work, he also hinted at a connection between this deity and the planet Mars.(2 ) Earlier, other writers had identified Woden as Mercury;(3 ) and, in fact, the Romans so identified this deity ...
423. Velikovsky -- what has survived? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:2 (Feb 1998) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky- what has survived?From: Clark Whelton, whel@worldnet.att.net Date: Thu, 22 Jan 1998 05:06:07 + 0000 Ev asked Chris Marx to say what part of Velikovsky's work- if any- he still believes to be valid, or of value. It would be interesting to know how each member of Kronia would respond to that question. Personally... I believe Velikovsky's main contribution was the revival of catastrophism in the 20th century. He will be remembered for using psychiatric methods to interpret myth and religion as repressed memory of ...
424. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the testimony of other ancient peoples in myth and astronomical records. Their catastrophic model holds Mars to be responsible for all major catastrophes except the second half of the Flood catastrophe, interacting with the Earth in 52 to 54-year cycles over a 2,000 year period. This completely fails to hold up against the testimony of ancient cultures which Velikovsky deploys; and also fails to explain the conditions which have been found throughout the solar system by the space programme of the last twenty years, and which correspond so accurately with the advance claims from Velikovsky's model. "Nevertheless, and with these reservations, the book is a rich source of ideas for Velikovskian researchers." These comments ...
425. The Center Holds [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents The Center Holds William Mullen During any revolution it is wise to keep thinking ahead to the new order that will emerge once victory is secure. Velikovsky's work may well catalyze a scientific revolution for which not even the familiar cases- Copernicus, Newton, Darwin- are adequate precedents. His reconstruction of the history of the solar system will not be accepted widely unless articulate readers who have found it sound persist in demanding objective consideration from the scientific community. Yet it would be wrong for them to devote energy exclusively to debating. Some corner of the mind has to ...

427. Catastrophes and the History of Life on Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and no plausible alternative could be found. Hence, evolutionary gradualism dominated, in supreme fashion, for over half a century. Similarly, for events in historical times, it was widely believed that the rise and fall of civilisations depended solely on human activity and never on large-scale environmental crises. In the middle of the twentieth century, Immanuel Velikovsky (Fig. 1) challenged this prevailing gradualistic paradigm, his first book, Worlds in Collision, appearing in 1950. Taking at face value the stories of celestial battles in ancient myths from around the world, Velikovsky suggested that, on several occasions in historical times, other planets of the solar system had wandered into the vicinity of ...
