Book Review: Rothschild’s ouroborus: Creation and Evolution by Friedrich Salomon Rothschild

Summary/Abstract: Review: Friedrich Salomon Rothschild, Creation and Evolution: A Biosemiotic Approach. 1994. Mevasseret Zion, Israel: J. Ph. Hes, C. Sorek, iv+360 pp. Translated from the German (Die Evolution als innere Anpassung an Gott; Bonn: Bouvier Publishing Company, 1986) by Jozef Ph. Hes. German-born Israeli Friedrich Salomon Rothschild (1899–1995) left behind a wealth of psychiatric-pragmatic, empirical-neurological, and exploratoryphilosophical works, much leading to theory and much of that theory integrated into his final book, Creation and Evolution, translated from the German (1986) to English in 1994. This semiotic tome resists reviewing in any conventional sense; what seems imperative, though, is to provoke as many readers and reviewers as possible by breaking the symmetry (pace Spencer-Brown 1969) of our collective ignorance while indexing the ripples from an earlier discoverer of Rothschild’s, Kalevi Kull (1999).
