RE: The Importance of Analyzing _Die Schere_

[Thomas Friese <tfriese@eumeswil.org>]

Well, since we do at least agree on one point, let's tackle Die Schere. I'm far more familiar with Eumeswil so I welcome the opportunity to broaden my knowledge of our man. But I will be bringing up Eumeswil later, count on it!!! Martin Venator is my hero!

Will the instigator of the initiative be giving us a reading schedule? The idea was for a simultaneous reading, was it not? Shall we coordinate things by German time? Given the 6-9 hour range of time time zones between west coast NA and Western Europe,  the most convenient choices seem to be either:
1. late night NA/early morning Europe (somewhere between 06:00 and 09:00 in Germany) 
2. mid afternoon NA/late night Europe (between 24:00 and 02:00 in Germany)
3. early morning NA/ mid afternoon Europe (between 14:00 and 17:00)

I would prefer the first or third choice. Who else is in and what are their preferences/suggestions?

Can only agree with T.F. on one
point. _Die Schere_ is of great
importance in the writing of E.J.
Could we just start as soon as possible
on _Die Schere_. Please let us know
your thought on practical matters.

Meanwhile my first contribution.

_Die Schere_ is no doubt by E.J. himself
regarded as extremely important. In his
speech in Spain in 1995 Juenger pointed out
the interest in Spain in his later works
and mentioned 'Schere': In the mediterranean
countries the later works had drawn attention
"die Schere zum Beispiel erschien ueberall bald
nach der deutschen Ausgabe."

Also p. 94 in _Siebzig verweht V_ (1997):

..und meiner Prognos kommender Dinge in der
"Schere" fuege ich nichts mehr hinzu."

Reading and analysing _Die Schere_ is a must
to reach the center of EJ's prognosticism.

Looking forward to a rich and meaningful
exchange on _Die Schere_.

Greetings
