Sri Aurobindo and Ilion - III
An important element of this epic that strikes us forcefully is its unveiling of the profound meaning of the Siege of Troy and the fall of Troy. In Sri Aurobindo's vision of history one is required to look into the greater purposes which struggle to realize themselves through a complex working out of forces by mutual shocks under the eye of supervening determination and action. In that context, the question that can be raised is: Why should Troy have fallen?
Nature seeks multi-sided and integral perfection, not merely one-sided splendour or climax. When such a splendour is achieved, Nature seeks to integrate it with potentialities that may eventually grow into a more complex efflorescence and fruition, even though temporarily the higher may have to yield to the lower or even though the one-sided splendour may have to be destroyed in order to make way for a greater and more comprehensive movement of development...
If we study human history and critical issues of today in the light of Sri Aurobindo's vision, we shall find that the line of development that began with the siege of Troy and culminated in the creation of Hellas, we shall find that the Periclean Athens was only a precursor of the Curve of Reason that re-emerged in the fifteenth Century (AD) in the Renascent Europe and which has guided and governed not only Europe but increasingly the entire globe and swept our times with momentous results in various fields of life. The contemporary crisis through which we are passing today is also the crisis of the rule of Reason, and we can perceive that this is the time when Athene is preparing herself to depart from her supremacy and to sojourn with Apollo.
In this discussion, firebrand economist @faizashaheen and leader of “Your Party” @jeremycorbyn Jeremy Corbyn discuss why the future of the Left requires ideas that match the scale of the crises we face: bold economic transformation, climate justice, and a politics that puts people before profit.
