Abstract
Being a Philosophy professor for eighteen years and then a Big History professor for three, I fell in love with Philosophy long before I fell in love with Big History. But, similar to St. Augustine’s attribution of his relationship with God, I also say: ‘Late have I loved thee, beauty so ancient yet so new.’ This exciting love affair with Philosophy and Big History is a marriage that came along and brought forth many splendid realizations. It introduced a dimension that existed from the very start but was never really pondered upon nor ventured into simply because they were never seen as part of a coherent whole. I used to be intimidated with numbers and chemistry but, suddenly took a different liking, once I was re-introduced to them in a big-history way.
