Einstein's God: The common geometrical structure of rationality dialectical history and the physical universe

Throughout history, the human mind has long inquired into the rational unity of all things. Unfortunately, the problem to this has always been the structural reconciliation of two sets of dialectically opposing concepts. They are respectively (1) rational stability and observable change and (2) structural unity and infinity. The two solutions to these problems came from (1) Plato who might have seen observable reality and rational stability united within a mediating axis of forms, and (2) Aristotle who attempted to contain infinity within a structurally recapitulating universe. The results of these solutions were transformed into the structural dynamics of history in which we evolve from one of eternal recapitulation to one of an ever progressing spiral of history. It is the conclusion from this work that there is a purpose and a progress fundamental to human history and that it is highly dependent upon a faith in a rationally consistent and complete understanding of the world.
