To the ancients, soul (anime) is the inherent yet passive principle which must be infused with spirit (animus) to have value. This concept was destroyed with the advent of the notion of an inherently individual soul.

Try to put up some Mumford videos if you can. I'd be happy to view them and make a comment or two. As for ranking his greatness amongst Americans, well you may be right in terms of American born, but in terms of American citizens I'd lean slightly more toward Nikola Tesla.I have posted a short clip from a documentary narrated by Lewis Mumford. The description contains a link to a fuller version of it.I hope Harold and Gloria don't balk at me for using the video comments in this way.

"This is the only video I could find on Youtube that includes a quote from Lewis Mumford." A sign of the times? I was looking for Lewis Mumford footage. I know there is some around, whithering away in the archives I guess. To me Lewis Mumford is the greatest American that ever lived.

This is the only video I could find on Youtube that includes a quote from Lewis Mumford.Incidentally, there were 3 a-bombs in 1945. Trinity, Hiroshima, Nagasaki. America now has, reportedly, 10,000 nuclear weapons.If these two gentlemen devolve to a shouting match, what hope do we have?
