Has anyone read any of his stuff? Poetic Diction, Saving Appearances, History in English Words to name but a few
He was connected with the inklings and friend (and teacher) of c s lewis
Wrote a lot on original semantic unity and also on the development of consciousness from
(i) original participation to
(ii) loss of this sense occasioned by a growing self-consciouesness through the emergence of scientific thinking to…
(iii) we are now awaiting a final participation this time though a fully self-conscious one
I’m writing a thesis onTolkien and because Barfield influenced Tolkien in some areas re development of language I’m minded to give a breif outline of his work.
Only thing is I’m a bit out of my depth with regard to whether his ideas are orthodox or heretical. If anyone has read Barfield and has any thoughts on this (or even be able to link him with established theologians) I’d be most grateful
Cheers
