Notably, one of the greatest works of ancient fiction is The Queen of Sheeba. She is mentioned a few dozen times in the Hebrew Bible when she presents gifts to Solomon, the town that bears her name. Ber-Sheba, which is unrelated to Solomon, may have been modeled after her in Yemen or Oman, two regions in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. I have a suspicion that her more recent renderings, particularly those from Europe, are more influenced by orientalism than by Arab-specific facts or folklore. Despite this, Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba in his 1749 oratorio Solomon—which was reportedly partially influenced by Telemann and Muffat—is one of the greatest musical moments of the past few centuries. Solomon is not performed today. Another story, though, is the Sheba movement (all instrumental), which inspires you to give the world another chance. This would have been the Epicureans’ anthem if they had one. Watch, played at the perfect tempo by the Academy of Ancient Music below.

Philosophy must set itself apart from poetry, if not outright contradict it, in order to survive. The famous figures of antiquity include Lucretius, Empedocles, and Parmenides. Since Socrates, however, Western philosophy has become more like prose—careful, exact, methodical, and almost distrustful of poetry. The two must be separated by a boundary. Isn’t it exactly the idea of the sensible man, who may appear insane just as easily? I believe that the aggressive pursuit of freedom is the core of poetry. For this reason, poets are frequently mischievous or inexperienced madmen. However, the philosopher’s belief that man is not free is the primary reason he can start to philosophize, or reason. Reason cannot coexist with freedom. It is a creative and decision-making process that would not be autonomous if it were subject to reason. And we now believe that it is more deeply personal than logic. The latter could only be used in special circumstances when man has everything he needs, is not lacking anything, is not subject to passions, and has time to think about other people. In actuality, we have witnessed the progressive destruction of metaphysics as the freedom of the 19th century has supplanted the reason of the 18th. Furthermore, philosophy was the source of this liberation. This demonstrates unequivocally that the current dilemma is one of growth rather than one that was sparked by an external attack. Because it was predicated on a conception of man that was incompatible with both freedom and reason, our metaphysics has fallen apart. It will have to decide between reestablishing the dominance of reason at the expense of freedom or giving up teaching and turning to poetry, where it risks losing itself. There exists a correlation between the events in philosophy and politics.
