Is the universe typified by chaos or harmony? Ancient societies in the Mesopotamian cradle of civilisation theorised on chaos – hence the justification for violence and conquest. The Abrahamic faiths, introducing monotheism, pushed back with a view of order and visions of harmony. Philosophies continue to compete in all the human disciplines – fundamental apocalypticists vs present world peace seekers, rationalists vs poet-scientists and all the spectrums in between.
Can harmony emerge from all this randomness? Is there a singularity?
Then there’s this –
I’m not sure there is a singularity. Maybe chaos and harmony are two ends of a continuum. Birds on the wire can be seen as both. There is a beauty in the sound that might not have been recognised in an era when acceptable Western harmony was more tightly defined.
