Beginnings and endings are notions that have fascinated thinkers and believers of all persuasions ever since the ability to think (whatever this pro- vocative verb may mean or what it no longer means) emerged in complicity with the ability to image that which presents itself in sensuous and sensual qualities carrying with them specific meanings that are as much intentions as values.
Although these notions of beginnings and endings seem to emphasize time they are fallacious to a degree because they overlook or divert atten- tion from the person who propounds them and because they do not take into account time’s implicate, space. And yet in the hallowed and hackneyed phrase “in the beginning” this spatial element is already incontrovertibly indicated by the preposition “in.” As we might say nowadays, this slanted view of a beginning has spawned two speculative themes: cosmogony and cosmology.
