In this examination, I suggest that genres<\/em> may correspond to cycles of history<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, the last four hundred years of the Latin Age<\/em> discusses the world in the genre of Aristotle (and Aquinas). The four hundred years of the Age of Ideas<\/em> works in the genre of empirio-schematics. The upcoming Age of Triadic Relations<\/em>will discourse using diagrams of triadic relations, such as signs, category-based nested forms, judgments and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roughly, a genre<\/em> and a cycle<\/em> lasts for four hundred years, consisting in four turnings of four generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 0133 Nine cycles pass between the start of the Ubaid (associated with Adam) and the end of Ur III (associated to Abraham).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gen 1-11 does not neatly designate nine genres. But, it offers an image of spiraling developments,<\/em> culminating in two great disasters: Noah’s flood<\/em> and the confounding of the language with the Tower of Babel<\/em>. The first associates to the Uruk period. The latter associates to the end of Ur III, when Sumerian becomes a dead language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 0134 Professor James Hoffmeier sees Gen 1-11 as history and theology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gordon Wenham views Gen 1-11 as protohistory<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kenton Sparks envisions Gen 1-11 as ancient historiography<\/em>, which electrically jumps to a humorous sound-alike, histriography<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 0135 All these conclusions<\/em> are drawn without awareness of a scientific hypothesis that changes the grounds of inquiry: the first singularity<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 0131 The book concludes with a short chapter titled, “We Disagree.
