Some facsimile pages from my notebooks, dating to August 1987, which review what Henri Frankfort and his colleagues had to say about Parmenides and the history of thought before the classical period in Greece. Click to enlarge the images. A page number followed by 'TN' indicates an internal notebook reference. The pages were scanned at 300 dpi, so they are easy to read if downloaded and opened in a viewer. Save the enlarged images for better resolution. The original pages are A4 format and size, so they are easy to print.
In Britain the Frankfort collaboration was published as Before Philosophy; in the US it had the title of The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man.
It is obvious from these pages that I was heading in the direction of writing something like The Sacred History of Being in 1987, though the actual trip was a long one. There was a lot to learn, and a lot to study.
