Falling Out of Time, Falling Out of Memory.
- Authors
Kramer, Nathaniel
- Abstract
The article examines Niels Barfoed's pursuit of the most basic and fundamental element of the concept of split which he considers as central to the thinking of Danish author and philosopher Villy Sørensen. It explores the relationship between the sources of split which include the Christian Fall, the philosophically absurd, and psychological trauma. It considers the views of Sørensen on the origin of modernity in an attempt to examine the foundation of his thought. It also discusses the Christian Fall as traumatic event.
