Plato's conception of two
harmonious modes of knowing, mythos and logos, may offer insight for
present dilemmas. Logos changed meaning from Heraclitus to Plato and
Aristotle to become synonymous with logic, reason, and later with the
scientific method. Reason reduced myth to entertaining fiction or lie, and
mythic minds have at times assumed their insights to be concrete fact. It
has become a war between brain hemispheres, art and science, church and
state.
Eyes Have Wings is an
invitation for dreamers and reasoners -- for the reasoner to remember the
wonderment of discovery and potential of imagining, and for the dreamer to
remember the effort of doing and making a reality happen.
