A New Cultural Renaissance in the Coming Age of Reason
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche gave this speech opening the second day of the Institute’s conference, “The Eurasian Land-Bridge Is Becoming a Reality!” which was held on Sept. 15-16 in Kiedrich, Germany. With the world in the worst economic crisis since 1931, she said, “what we need to do, is to combine the Eurasian Land-Bridge, which is an alliance of sovereign nation-states for the common aims of mankind, with the idea of a cultural Renaissance. And by focussing on the best, highest traditions, highest cultures of all cultures, to form a dialogue among those.”

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
A gift of a translation of V.I. Vernadsky’s On the States of Physical Space, prompted LaRouche to renew an earlier challenge he had given to a LaRouche Youth Movement scientific team, to discover the methods that Carl Gauss used in his scientific breakthroughs. Gauss responded to the difficulty of working in an environment hostile to science, by demonstrating his results, without revealing the method he had used to arrive at them.
