Epicurean Justice and Law Abstract This dissertation concerns a cluster of related issues surrounding the Epicurean conception of justice. First, I show that the Epicureans defend a sophisticated kind of social contract theory and maintain a kind of legal positivism, views that are widely held today and so are of continuing interest for contemporary readers. In doing so, I argue that thinking about justice and law forms an integral part of Epicurean philosophy (pace the standard view). Second, I take up some neglected issues regarding justice and so provide detailed accounts of the metaphysics of moral properties in Epicureanism as well as of Epicurean moral epistemology. After the introduction in chapter 1, I set out the main features of the Epicurean view of justice and law in chapters 2-4. In chapter 2, I explain the basics of the Epicurean conception of justice as an agreement and relate it to Epicurean ethics as whole. In chapter 3, I examine Epicurean culture stories and I point out in what way the Epicurean view is a kind of social contract theory. -

The Defiance of Poetic Tradition in Paul Celan and Osip Mandelstam a DISSERTATION
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Counter-Quotation: The Defiance of Poetic Tradition in Paul Celan and Osip Mandelstam A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Comparative Literary Studies By Anna Glazova EVANSTON, ILLIONOIS June 2008 2 ABSTRACT Counter-Quotation: The Defiance of Poetic Tradition in Paul Celan and Osip Mandelstam Anna Glazova This dissertation concentrates on problems of quotation, tradition, and translation in the poetry of Paul Celan and Osip Mandelstam. While examining the nature of poetic inheritance, Celan often refers to Russian poetry and, in particular, to Osip Mandelstam, who, in his turn, understands poetry as an essentially dialogic process. Both for Celan and for Mandelstam, every new poem is an utterance within a poetic conversation. Nowhere is the dialectic of newness and tradition better exemplified than in the act of quotation, both direct and indirect. For this reason, I begin my dissertation with a chapter discussing Celan's idea of quotation as "encounter" in poetic dialogue. Celan welcomes the understanding of poetry as conversation and yet also indicates the limits to which the act of welcoming can be reciprocated. This limit is contained in the so-called "counter-word" (Gegenwort). In my second chapter, I turn to Celan's own encounters with Osip Mandelstam concerning the act or event of "breathturn" (Atemwende), which is a translation and transformation of Mandelstam's poetics of breathing, as it unfolds in his Voronezh Notebooks . The problem of stopping and re-starting breath becomes, as I argue, a way of reconceiving both the content and the idea of tradition. -
'A Path for Understanding': Journey Metaphors in (Three) Early Greek Philosophers
Chiara Ferella ‘A Path for Understanding’: Journey Metaphors in (Three) Early Greek Philosophers Summary This paper analyzes the use of journey metaphors by three early Greek philosophers, Hera- clitus, Parmenides, and Empedocles. My investigation emphasizes the powerful, malleable and polyvalent nature of this metaphor cluster both with reference to diverse authors and in the same text. It highlights, moreover, the relationship between metaphor, imagination and philosophical argumentation, above all when a fresh metaphorical stratum is intro- duced within an already established metaphor. Finally, it investigates to what extent the introduction of a fresh metaphorical stratum contributes to creative thinking and, by struc- turing and organizing new insights, to theoretical argumentation. Keywords: Heraclitus; Parmenides; Empedocles; metaphor; journey; path; theoretical argumentation Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die Verwendung von Reise-Metaphern von drei frühgriechischen Denkern: Heraklit, Parmenides und Empedokles. Meine Untersuchung hebt die ausdruck- starke, leichtplastische und polyvalente Natur dieses Metaphern-Bereiches sowohl in Bezug auf diversen Autoren, als auch in ein und demselben Text hervor. Im Fokus steht der Zusam- menhang zwischen Metapher, Imagination und philosophischer Argumentation, beson- ders wenn ein neuer metaphorischer Stratus in einen schon etablierten Metapher-Bereich eingeführt wird. Schließlich wird auch untersucht, in wie fern ein neuer metaphorischer Stratus, indem dieser neue Kenntnisse und Einsichten strukturiert und organisiert, zum kreativen Denken und zur theoretischen Argumentation beiträgt.
