I watch and wait in vain: somehow nobody has brought Introduction-writing out of the house of bondage, off the treadmill of villein service. When, if not in this age of ecumenicalism¬タヤthat is to say, of all-powerful reason¬タヤis one finally to grant independence to this noble, unrecognized genre? I had in fact counted on somebody else fulfilling this obligation, which is not only aesthetically in line with the evolutionary course of art, but, morally, downright imperative.

I too have long felt a pressing need to rescue this form of writing from the silence of forty centuries¬タヤfrom its bondage to the works to which its creations have been chained. The art of writing Introductions has long demanded proper recognition. ᅡᅠᅡᅠᅡᅠ Golem's Inaugural Lecture¬タヤAbout Man Threefold ᅡᅠᅡᅠᅡᅠ Introduction to the Second Edition
