Irving Wolfe: Introduction to Velikovsky’s Ideas

irving-wolfe-introduction-to-velikovsky-s-ideas

Dr. Irving Wolfe reviews Immanuel Velikovsky’s contributions to a broad-ranging discourse in the sciences.

Why did Velikovsky’s best-selling Worlds in Collision provoke one of most heated scientific controversies of the 20th century? Why did the gatekeepers of “acceptable” theory feel compelled to mobilize a boycott of the original publisher? And is it possible that Velikovsky’s own perspective on cultural amnesia can help us understand the reactions to his work?

Modeling his analysis on a judicial approach, Dr. Wolfe will correct the record for the benefit of new generations in the sciences.

Dr. Irving Wolfe earned a PhD in Drama from the University of Bristol, England. He is a member of the faculty, Department of English, University of Montréal, Canada. In addition to his literary research, Professor Wolfe has presented several dozen papers on catastrophism at conferences in England, Canada, and the United States, and has published papers in the field in British, Canadian and American journals.

He has also contributed large sections on catastrophism to a number of anthologies. Professor Wolfe is concerned with the long-lasting effects of collective unconscious catastrophic memory on later collective and individual human behavior and intellectual products, so his articles, conference papers, and book sections have focused on catastrophism and Shakespeare, creative art, religion, cosmology, ancient chronology, political activism, epistemology, sport, soap opera, ancient governments and public rituals, ancient cities, ancient writing and literacy, scientific repression and popular culture.

He is currently completing a book on catastrophism and unconscious collective memory in Shakespeare.

  1. I’ve read Velikovsky’s ‘Worlds in Collision’ and found it very thought provoking. And at least as ‘believable’ as the ‘big bang’ “everything came from nothing” theory of ‘creation’.

  2. Hrhrhr yea too bad we are living in an electrical universe where shit doesn’t happen. There are no collisions, not as this freak wants to tell ya. As if that was the case, the planet which is cloaked and already over our heads would have crashed yet. But nope, I record it every day, all it does, is having a nasty electromsgentic influence on us. Feeling dizzy or no power? UTC+2 at 10 morning, 14 o clock and at night. Even have footage of two of them eclipsing in our skies.
