W. W. Norton & Company 1970 Paper Back New First published in 1954, this little book is a study of a distinction with incalculable historical and philosophical consequences. It goes to the very foundations of why Hebrew and Greek thought are different from one another, a radical investigation that is mostly about language and its shaping of mind. Boman looks at fundamental categories--dynamic or static thinking as reflected in different concepts of ''Word'' and ''Being, '' varying ways of describing the appearances of things, of describing time and space--and then wonders how these often divergent habits of thought merged to form the Western intellectual tradition. Mentioning Niels Bohr's teaching that atomic structure must be described as both wave and particle--a contradictory yet necessary assertion--Boman concludes with his own memorable assertion: ''In that sense, Hebrew and Greek thinking are complementary; the Greeks describe reality as being, the Hebrews as movement. Reality is, however, both at the same time; this is logically impossible, and yet it is correct. ''

Norton & Company] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'In its patient, lucid philological approach to crucial issues, in its breathtakingly compact treatment of significant voices from Heraclitus to Job to Bergson, and in the studied independence of its own lines of development and conclusions, Boman's book is a modest masterpiece. It must be read not only by those who are concerned with the theological facets of the problem but by anyone who claims any interest in the problem of thinking in Western culture.'-Christian Century
