  • The Logic of Desire
    Alexis Turner Indiana University 03.28.2013 Presented at the annual conference for the Western Political Science Association Draft. Please do not cite or distribute without permission The Logic of Desire In ancient Greek thought, which had not yet formally theorized a mathematical concept of zero, the idea of nothing or lack nonetheless held a prominent place, perhaps most fully articulated through eros: desire. Or, as we more gently tend to translate it in English, love. This is an unfortunate softening, for the Greeks understood all too well that to play with love is to play with fire. Such pyrotechnics do not require the abandonment of reason, contrary to most common readings – just as we can admire jaguars, canyons, Siren songs, and other beautiful things without being witless enough to throw ourselves headlong into them, so we can flirt with desire without being consumed. This paper explores the possibility that refusing nothing – refusing to live with desire – is the fundamental error that sits at the heart of The Republic. If I am not entirely mistaken, the Socratic notion of desire is a deeply logical one deployed as a response to, and critical of, question-begging elements inherent in positive declarations derived from a reasoning process based wholly essentialist either/or oppositions. If so, the problem shifts from one of authoritative, unidirectional truth to one of diplomacy, tactics, and strategy. Truth has not disappeared, but it becomes enmeshed in relations between people and depends on the exercise of judgment, restraint, and friendship. Starting with nothing brings us back to politics. Is the modern world really so disenchanted as we are continually being told? The claim resonates, and yet trends in modern photography indicate that things are practically fetishized, each object lovingly isolated and focused on in macro-miniature, each of its colors and curves fondled by the camera.

  • A Contextual Examination of Three Historical Stages of Atheism and the Legality of an American Freedom from Religion
    ABSTRACT Rejecting the Definitive: A Contextual Examination of Three Historical Stages of Atheism and the Legality of an American Freedom from Religion Ethan Gjerset Quillen, B.A., M.A., M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. The trouble with “definitions” is they leave no room for evolution. When a word is concretely defined, it is done so in a particular time and place. Contextual interpretations permit a better understanding of certain heavy words; Atheism as a prime example. In the post-modern world Atheism has become more accepted and popular, especially as a reaction to global terrorism. However, the current definition of Atheism is terribly inaccurate. It cannot be stated properly that pagan Atheism is the same as New Atheism. By interpreting the Atheisms from four stages in the term‟s history a clearer picture of its meaning will come out, hopefully alleviating the stereotypical biases weighed upon it. In the interpretation of the Atheisms from Pagan Antiquity, the Enlightenment, the New Atheist Movement, and the American Judicial and Civil Religious system, a defense of the theory of elastic contextual interpretations, rather than concrete definitions, shall be made.

  • On the Pleasure of Feasting During the Polish Renaissance
    Dawid Barbarzak Dawid Barbarzak The Humanist at the Table: On the Pleasure of Feasting during the Polish Renaissance Izvorni znanstveni rad Research paper UDK 17.036.1:7.034>(438) https://doi.org/10.32728/tab.17.2020.1 In this paper, an attempt is made to present the phenomenon of humanist banquets in the culture of the Polish Renaissance in light of the Epicurean category of pleasure (voluptas). Sources analysed in the paper include works of Polish poetry from authors such as Filippo Buonaccorsi „Callimachus”, Conrad Celtis, Jan Kochanowski, Jan Dantyszek „Dantiscus”, Klemens Janicki „Ianitius”, and the work of Łukasz Górnicki Dworzanin polski (Castiglione’s adaptation of Corteg- giano). The texts are compared to selected ancient sources (especially Horace, Epicurus, Lucretius and Pliny the Elder) with the aim of prov- ing that Renaissance humanists imitated the style of philosophical and literary symposia. In the paper, the wider context of this cultural transformation in the context of Renaissance discoveries and printed editions of ancient texts related to Epicurean and Platonic philosophy or the ancient culture of eating is also presented, which could have first inspired Italian, and later also Polish humanists, to adopt this new form of philosophical and literary banquets. Key words: humanist banquet, convivium, symposium, Epicureanism, pleasure, eating In ancient ethical philosophy there were two movements which emphasized the category of pleasure in a special way: hedonism and Epicureanism. The founder of the former, Aristippus of Cyrene, led a luxurious life in Athens and Sicily, claiming that seeking pleasant experiences is more important than reason or deeds. Some anecdotes 21 Tabula 17 Zbornik skupa Kultura Mare internum about his gluttony have survived.1 The philosopher emphasized that having money is not the goal, and that it should be spent for pleasure: To one who reproached him with extravagance in catering, he replied, „Wouldn't you have bought this if you could have got it for three obols?” The answer being in the affirmative.

  • Catalogue of Titles of Works Attributed to Aristotle
    Catalogue of Titles of works attributed by Aristotle 1 To enhance readability of the translations and usability of the catalogues, I have inserted the following bold headings into the lists. These have no authority in any manuscript, but are based on a theory about the composition of the lists described in chapter 3. The text and numbering follows that of O. Gigon, Librorum deperditorum fragmenta. PART ONE: Titles in Diogenes Laertius (D) I. Universal works (ta kathalou) A. The treatises (ta syntagmatika) 1. The dialogues or exoterica (ta dialogika ex terika) 2. The works in propria persona or lectures (ta autopros pa akroamatika) a. Instrumental works (ta organika) b. Practical works (ta praktika) c. Productive Works (ta poi tika) d. Theoretical works (ta the r tika) . Natural philosophy (ta physiologia) . Mathematics (ta math matika) B. Notebooks (ta hypomn matika) II. Intermediate works (ta metaxu) III. Particular works (ta merika) PART TWO: Titles in the Vita Hesychii (H) This list is organized in the same way as D, with two exceptions. First, IA2c “productive works” has dropped out. Second, there is an appendix, organized as follows: IV. Appendix A. Intermediate or Particular works B. Treatises C. Notebooks D. Falsely ascribed works PART THREE: Titles in Ptolemy al-Garib (A) This list is organized in the same way as D, except it contains none of the Intermediate or Particular works. It was written in Arabic, and later translated into Latin, and then reconstructed into Greek, which I here translate. PART FOUR: Titles in the order of Bekker (B) The modern edition contains works only in IA2 (“the works in propria persona”), and replaces the theoretical works before the practical and productive, as follows.

  • Cosmological Narrative in the Synagogues of Late Roman-Byzantine Palestine
    COSMOLOGICAL NARRATIVE IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF LATE ROMAN-BYZANTINE PALESTINE Bradley Charles Erickson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Jodi Magness Zlatko Plese David Lambert Jennifer Gates-Foster Maurizio Forte © 2020 Bradley Charles Erickson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bradley Charles Erickson: Cosmological Narrative in the Synagogues of Late Roman-Byzantine Palestine (Under the Direction of Jodi Magness) The night sky provided ancient peoples with a visible framework through which they could view and experience the divine. Ancient astronomers looked to the night sky for practical reasons, such as the construction of calendars by which time could evenly be divided, and for prognosis, such as the foretelling of future events based on the movements of the planets and stars. While scholars have written much about the Greco-Roman understanding of the night sky, few studies exist that examine Jewish cosmological thought in relation to the appearance of the Late Roman-Byzantine synagogue Helios-zodiac cycle. This dissertation surveys the ways that ancient Jews experienced the night sky, including literature of the Second Temple (sixth century BCE – 70 CE), rabbinic and mystical writings, and Helios-zodiac cycles in synagogues of ancient Palestine. I argue that Judaism joined an evolving Greco-Roman cosmology with ancient Jewish traditions as a means of producing knowledge of the earthly and heavenly realms. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my adviser, Dr.

  • Mcgilchrist and the Axial Age
    Article In Search of the Origins of the Western Mind: McGilchrist and the Axial Age Susanna Rizzo 1 and Greg Melleuish 2,* 1 School of Arts & Sciences, The University of Notre Dame Australia, Cnr Broadway and Abercrombie St, P.O. Box 944, Broadway, NSW 2007, Australia; [email protected] 2 School of Humanities and Social Inquiry, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2525, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 November 2020; Accepted: 12 January 2021; Published: 25 January 2021 Abstract: This paper considers and analyses the idea propounded by Iain McGilchrist that the foundation of Western rationalism is the dominance of the left side of the brain and that this occurred first in ancient Greece. It argues that the transformation that occurred in Greece, as part of a more widespread transformation that is sometimes termed the Axial Age, was, at least in part, connected to the emergence of literacy which transformed the workings of the human brain. This transformation was not uniform and took different forms in different civilisations, including China and India. The emergence of what Donald terms a “theoretic” culture or what can also be called “rationalism” is best understood in terms of transformations in language, including the transition from poetry to prose and the separation of word and thing. Hence, the development of theoretic culture in Greece is best understood in terms of the particularity of Greek cultural development. This transition both created aporias, as exemplified by the opposition between the ontologies of “being” and “becoming”, and led to the eventual victory of theoretic culture that established the hegemony of the left side of the brain.

Copyright: © The author 2018 Date deposited: 26/05/2018 Newcastle University ePrints - eprint.ncl.ac.uk [Fully revised and corrected version, by ML, after MB’s editing. Sunday 6th May 2018] A Voice that is Merely Breath Michael Lewis ‘Anxiety is there. It is only sleeping. Its breath quivers perpetually through Dasein’ (Martin Heidegger, ‘What is Metaphysics?’) Anxiety, breath, being Heidegger had made a similar connection between anxiety and breath a few years earlier, in Being and Time (1927): ‘[Anxiety] is oppressive and stifles one’s breath’ (BT231/186). Anxiously gasping for air, we are struck dumb: ‘Anxiety robs us of speech’ (WM89/112). For Heidegger, all moods, and anxiety in particular, are revelatory, even if what they reveal is the mundanity of the most everyday object. Most other moods reveal entities (Seienden) in a certain aspect; but anxiety brings us face to face with being (Sein). Is it possible to describe this ‘being’ only in the gasping and halting breaths that escape us in the grips of anxiety, when we can barely speak at all? If this were so, then it would not be the first time in the history of philosophy that being spoke in a voice that was merely breath. The etymology of ‘being’ in ‘breath’ Jacques Derrida notes that both Ernest Renan and Friedrich Nietzsche trace the etymology of the word ‘being’ back to the word ‘breath’ and, in this instance, language tells us something essentially true (Derrida 2001 [1967], 173–4/203–4).1 There is, for the tradition we shall be concerned with here — the one that runs between Aristotle and Martin Heidegger — an essential connection between being and language: for Aristotle, being is ‘said in many ways’ (Aristotle, Metaphysics 1003a– b), which is to say, as soon as language lays hold of that-which-is, what it means to be assumes a number of different senses.

Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2013 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. Boston College The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Department of Philosophy PERCEPTION IN ARISTOTLE’S ETHICS A Dissertation By SHARON EVE RABINOFF Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 © Copyright by SHARON EVE RABINOFF 2013 Perception in Aristotle’s Ethics Dissertation by Eve Rabinoff Under the Supervision of Dr. Marina McCoy Abstract The project of this dissertation is to examine the role that perception plays in Aristotle’s ethics. Aristotle is famous for offering what might be called a situational ethics: discerning what one ought to do is not derivable from universal laws, but must be assessed with respect to the particulars that make up the situation in which one must act. Aristotle argues that what virtue calls for is acting and feeling in an appropriate manner, i.e. at the right time, to the right degree, in the right manner, with respect to the right people, and so on (Nicomachean Ethics 1106b21-24). Moreover, because of the situational specificity of right action, one must also have the right character in order to discern what virtue calls for—only the virtuous person sees what is truly good. If one has a faulty character, the particulars will appear in a distorted manner, just as the wine tastes bitter to those who are ill (1113a25-29).

  • An Invitation from Plato: a Philosophical Journey to Knowledge
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Repository of the Freie Universität Berlin Mai Oki-Suga An Invitation from Plato: A Philosophical Journey to Knowledge Summary To trace paths to knowledge or to follow the journey searching for knowledge is to some extent equivalent to reading a philosophical book. Plato, who perceives this relation be- tween journey and philosophy, writes his dialogues as if each of his works were a journey to knowledge. This paper inquires into the ascent and descent motif that is the symbolic motion of a philosophical journey and appears in Plato’s Politeia repeatedly. By means of this motif, Plato depicts the journey of the soul in several different ways. This examination will show a possible way to read Plato’s dialogue as a philosophical journey. This journey is undertaken by Plato or the figure Socrates, but at the same time it involves its readers in philosophical inquiries. Keywords: Plato; philosophy; Republic (Politeia); journey of soul; dialogue Das Lesen eines philosophischen Buches kann in einem gewissen Sinne mit einer Weg- beschreitung oder einer Reise zum Wissen gleichgesetzt werden. Platon, der sich dieses Verhältnisses zwischen Reise und Philosophie bewusst war, verfasste seine Dialoge, als ob sie Reisen zum Wissen wären. Diese Abhandlung behandelt das Begriffspaar Aufstieg und Abstieg, das als symbolische Bewegung der philosophischen Reise in Platons Politeia mehr- mals verwendet wird. Mit diesem Motiv stellt Platon die Reise der Seele auf unterschiedli- che Weisen dar. Meine Untersuchung zeigt eine Leseweise, mit der Platons Dialog als phi- losophische Reise verstanden werden kann, die zwar von Platon oder der Figur Sokrates unternommen wird, gleichzeitig jedoch den Leser in die philosophischen Fragestellungen miteinbezieht.
