 The matter of incarnation is central to Rosenstock-Huessy’s magnum opus In the Cross of Reality. For it is this work that most thoroughly examines love and suffering as the great drivers of human endeavour through their spatial and temporal incarnations. The founding and perpetuation of new institutions which store our loves, carry us across the times, and hence (when working well) replenish us, is, for Rosenstock-Huessy the real capacity for freedom that we bear. For this drawing upon the times and being able to found new bodies of time is our way of immortalising ourselves. Our world is what we make of it; our different historicities are our creations, our ‘compositions’ that reach across the times.
