For what it's worth wikipedia has "Greek philosophy ... foregrounded the meaning of arche as the element or the principle of a thing, which although undemonstrable and intangible in itself, provides the conditions for the possibility of that thing'. | |
| Aug 14, 2017 at 17:58 | comment | added | user20253 | @MoziburUllah - It seems to me you have given the correct meaning. The emergence of the first word would coincide with the first distinction, This would be why Reality outruns language, for a system of predication requires that we divide the Unity of Reality and cannot speak of it as it is. Your explanation would be consistent with Spencer Brown's explanation of the emergence of form from formlessness in 'Laws of Form';.The Word cannot be the original source but it can be the first principle in the emergence of form. But I'm not clear on what theologians have to say about this. . . | |
| Aug 14, 2017 at 17:39 | comment | added | Mozibur Ullah | Actually, this reminds me of a question that I once wanted to ask which was whether in the original koine Greek, the word arche was translated as 'beginning'; because it also has the meaning as first or originating principle in Greek philosophy, and this would add an interesting nuance: the originating principle was the Word... | |
