@poetinbabylon I think we can go further. The distinctive contribution of the prophet lies not in their Word or level of realization as in their command of actualization. Heschel: "A prophet is a mystic in _action_. The role of a prophet is to _interfere_ with injustice."

Quoted by@tbarson49 @nils_gilman @adam_tooze Yup, the true test of a positivist/positive anthropology is, I suppose, that it needs to work everywhere, for everybody. A functional, democratic mode including and transcending, for example, the facts of materialist-religious divide. We all have the planet in common. Solidarity!Quoted by@ceisenstein 2/ Heschel again: “Prophets are mystics in action.” What, then, when the ‘speech act’ and the actionable realm of the manifest, align, synthesize, integrate and synergize? What nature, the ‘integral prophetic’, enfleshed, manifest, collective, and marching on? @UniteThePoor
