Comparing Tosh, who was shot dead on Friday, September 11, 1987 by three gunmen who invaded his Plymouth Avenue home in Barbican, St Andrew, with 18th century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Gordon began by looking at four aspects of Tosh’s colourful personality that are embedded in his music. “You have to understand Peter Tosh in four ways,” said Gordon, the rector of St Mary’s Anglican Church.

His philosophy, his subjective spirituality, his theology and his anthropology, and their link. Within Hegel’s philosophy, when you link music with lyrics and poetry, you ascend to a higher level of consciousness. Now, when Hegel said that hundreds of years ago, Peter Tosh wasn’t born yet. But if you listen to Peter Tosh. there is a link between philosophy, epistemology and theology.
