True. It is too much a classical idea I think. Then came the idea of cyclical time (or better history, which is the term used so we not get into trouble with physicists), and the most original approach of Baudrillard of 'recyclyble history'. Mohan, your assumption is true, but there if it were all that easy philosophers wouldn't wonder so much.
