  "...
  the Danish cartoons crisis last March showed 'two world views colliding
  in public space with no common point of reference.'"

  -- George Carey, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1991 to 2002, quoted in today's London Times.

  -- Motto of 
  Plato's Academy

  Background from

  If we replace the Chinese word "I" (change, transformation) with the word "permutation," the relevance of Western mathematics (which some might call "the Logos") to the I Ching ("Changes Classic") beomes apparent.

  For the relevance of Plato to
  Islam, see David Wade's

  "We should let ourselves be guided by what is common to all. Yet
  although the Logos is common to all, most men live as if each
  had a private intelligence of his own."

  -- Heraclitus of Ephesus, about 500 B.C.
