FALL 2002 Mrs The Center for Western Studies Newsletter Vol. 22 Number 3 FALL 2002 Mrs. Sally Fantle December 6, 1908 – August 12, 2002 On August 16, friends of the late Mrs. Sally Fantle met at the Center for Western Studies to bid her farewell and to honor her for her many contributions to our Sioux Falls community and to Augustana College. Dr. Arthur Huseboe presided at the event, which gave many of Sally’s friends, led by President Bruce Halverson, the opportunity to pay their last respects. The obituary notice prepared for the event read as follows: Sally Margolis was born December 6, 1908, at Larned, Kansas, to Leopold and Rose (Fox) Margolis. She attended the University of Missouri and later worked as a social worker in Chicago, Illinois. She married Benjamin Fantle on August 1, 1932. The couple made their home at Sioux Falls, SD. Sally and Ben thoroughly enjoyed traveling throughout Europe and partic- ularly enjoyed time spent in England. Ben, former owner of Mrs. Sally Fantle Fantle’s Department Store, preceded Sally in death in 1978. his wife, Sara, Minneapolis, MN, Susan Bott, Brighton, CO, Sally’s main interests were furthering the success of the Gwen Enright, San Diego, CA, a special friend, Catherine Augustana Center for Western Studies and the Washington Olson, Sioux Falls, SD and nieces and nephews, Laura, Pavilion of Arts and Science.

  • Plutarch on the Role of Eros in a Marriage
    1 2 3 4 Plutarch on the Role of Eros in a Marriage 5 6 Jeffrey Beneker 7 8 Plutarch’s thinking on marital relationships has attracted a significant amount 9 of interest in recent years and has been approached from a variety of 10 perspectives. Some scholars have studied the societal aspect of marriage in 11 Plutarch’s works, raising questions about the role of women in the household, 12 in the community, and especially in their interactions with men, and therefore 13 they have tended to address larger social issues, such as gender, sexuality, and 14 equality.1 Others have taken a philosophical tack and have examined Plutarch’s 15 writing, especially as it concerns the nature and value of marriage, in terms of 16 the broader philosophical traditions to which it is related.2 However, my focus 17 in this paper is much more narrow. I intend to explore one particular 18 component of the marital relationship itself: the erotic connection that exists, 19 or might exist, between a husband and wife. Looking first to the Moralia and 20 the dialogue Amatorius, I will argue that Plutarch describes the eros shared 21 between a married couple as an essential prerequisite for the development of 22 philia and virtue. Then, turning to the Lives, I will demonstrate how the ideas 23 found in the Amatorius are fundamental to Plutarch’s representation of 24 marriage in the biographies of Brutus and Pompey. 25 In the Amatorius, Plutarch, who is himself the principal speaker, touches on 26 a variety of topics related to eros, but the discussion itself is motivated by a 27 single event: the wealthy widow Ismenodora has expressed her desire to marry 28 the ephebe Bacchon, who comes from a family of lower social standing.

Ferrer. Cailornia Institute of Integral Studies San Francisco, CA, USA This paper explores how the extension of contemplative qualities to intimate relationships can transform human sexual/emotional responses and relationship choices. The paper reviews contemporary findings from the field of evolutionary psychology on the twin origins of jealousy and monogamy, argues for the possibility to transform jealousy into sympathetic joy (or compersion), addresses the common objections against polyamory (or nonmonogamy), and challenges the culturally prevalent belief that the only spiritually correct sexual options are either celibacy or (lifelong or serial) monogamy. To conclude, it is suggested that the cultivation of sympathetic joy in intimate bonds can pave the way to overcome the problematic dichotomy between monogamy and polyamory, grounding individuals in a radical openness to the dynamic unfolding of life

  • What Is Science-Based Bioethics?
    Science-based Bioethics Ch. 1 Introduction Loike & Fischbach Chapter One What is Science-based Bioethics? Introduction Each year, biotechnology bravely ventures into unexplored scientific territory. The year 2016 was no exception: The number of scientific breakthroughs that emerged during this year is overwhelming with gene editing (CRISPR) technologies, gene drives to eliminate harmful mosquitos, and synthetic DNA topping the list. As will be discussed in Chapter Eight, scientists have developed ingenious methods to edit the DNA code of the human genome in cells, embryos, and human beings. Equally astonishing are the reports of two new synthetic DNA bases that have been synthesized. Applying this synthetic biology technology, scientists have expanded the DNA code from 4 to 6 base pairs (Malyshev et al., 2014). Yet, the real dangers of gene editing, synthetic biology, and the creation of a synthetic human genome remain unknown, raising the question whether humankind is dramatically overstepping innate ethical boundaries. In May of 2016, a closed door meeting convened to discuss the issue of constructing an entire human genome in a cell line, a project prospectively titled ‘HGP-Write: Testing Large Synthetic Genomes in Cells’. As the New York Times reports, the meeting was invite-only and “The nearly 150 attendees were told not to contact the news media or to post on Twitter during the meeting.” In the past year, neuroscience research has led to countless innovations as well. Selected examples include: a) stem cell and genetic technologies to enhance the cognition and learning potential of mice, b) brain rejuvenation of older mice to their youthful plasticity with stem cell technologies, c) artificial intelligence in human-like robots (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0_DPi0PmF0 for a dramatic video about human-like robots), and d) genetically modified bacteria that can function as biological circuits.

  • Beyond Eros: Friendship in the Phaedrus
    DRAFT Beyond eros: Friendship in the Phaedrus Plato is often held to be the first great theoriser of love in the Western tradition, and yet his account has been taken to be a resounding failure by many, if not most, modern scholars working on this topic. Criticisms have been articulated forcefully by Vlastos whose seminal paper „The Individual as an Object of love‟ charged Plato with „cold-hearted egoism‟; his account, he argued, disdained persons in favour of abstract, conceptual, objects – the so-called Platonic Forms, and advocates a „spiritualized egocentrism…scarcely aware of kindness, tenderness, compassion, concern for the freedom, respect for the integrity of the beloved, as essential ingredients of the highest type of interpersonal love‟ (Vlastos (1981/2000: 642)). The evidence is roughly as follows. In the Symposium Plato argues that the highest form of eros, roughly, „passionate desire‟ is love for Forms, and beautiful bodies and souls are to be used „as steps‟ towards this end. The Lysis appears to be the only exploration of friendship (philia), and this is an inconclusive work. At best, it is held, the lack of an account of love and friendship for persons compares unfavourably with Aristotle‟s detailed account of philia, which occupies two books of his Ethics and is, arguably, central to his account of human flourishing; at worst, this omission supports the view of Plato as „a cold-hearted egoist‟ who disdained persons in favour of abstract objects. If Plato thought philosophy could answer the question how should one live, in one crucial area of his thought the life worth living is not, apparently, a life worth choosing; as Aristotle made explicit, no one would choose to live without friends.

Complicating Public Mothers with Private Others: Eros as the Strange Attractor of Social Action Dorothy Lander Abstract: Smith-Rosenberg’s (1984) term, “public mothers,” characterizes independent women reformers (typically not birth mothers), and shapes this study of three educator- activists in Canadian social movements—Lotta Hitschmanova, Letitia Youmans, and Mary Arnold. Using historical/biographical inquiry as my methodology, I elaborate on the close relationships of these public mothers, often with a particular “great friend,” to explicate Eros as a life force in all of its embodied, sensory, and learning “elements, not only sexual desire” (Estola, 2003, p. 2). I conceptualize Eros in the quantum language of the strange attractor, that is, as a learning site around which energy clusters. The enduring distinctions between public and private that “make us believe that love has no place in the classroom” (hooks, 1994, p.

Paper 71. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/71 LOVE’S LACK: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POVERTY AND EROS IN PLATO’S SYMPOSIUM By Lorelle D. Lamascus A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2010 ABSTRACT LOVE’S LACK: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EROS AND POVERTY IN PLATO’S SYMPOSIUM Lorelle D. Lamascus Marquette University, 2010 This dissertation responds to a long-standing debate among scholars regarding the nature of Platonic Eros and its relation to lack. The more prominent account of Platonic Eros presents the lack of Eros as a deficiency or need experienced by the lover with respect to the object needed, lacked, or desired, so that the nature of Eros is construed as self-interested or acquisitive, subsisting only so long as the lover lacks the beloved object. This dissertation argues that such an interpretation neglects the different senses of lack present in the Symposium and presents an alternative interpretation of Eros based on the Symposium ’s presentation of Eros as the child of Poverty and Resource. Chapter one examines the origin and development of the position that Platonic Eros is acquisitive or egocentric and the influence this has had on subsequent interpretations of Plato’s thought.

  • The Language of Love
    Lindberg/Love: A Brief History Through Western Christianity 9780631235989_4_001 Page Proof page 1 24.11.2007 2:24pm Chapter 1 The Language of Love ‘‘The Greeks have a word for it’’ is an old cliche´ but nonetheless apt for our subject. Indeed, in relation to ‘‘love,’’ the Greeks not only had a word, they had many words! Like so many aspects of Western culture, our understandings and views of love have been influenced by contributions from Greek thought. The Greek vocabulary for ‘‘love’’ includes the nouns ‘‘storge,’’ ‘‘epithymia,’’ ‘‘philia,’’ ‘‘eros,’’ and ‘‘agape,’’ and their respective verb forms. On occasion some of these words for love are interchangeable but they are not strong synonyms. As we shall see, the history of the language of love is intimately related to the history of ideas. But as some wag once put it, the history of ideas is akin to nailing jello to the wall. Hence, caveat emptor, readers are warned that past historical contexts are often foreign countries and that words familiar to us may have been used quite differently in different times and places. For example, Cheyette notes in his study of medieval troubadour literature that when we moderns limit our concept of love to a sentiment, we miss its medieval political and social meanings. Bolkestein makes a similar Lindberg/Love: A Brief History Through Western Christianity 9780631235989_4_001 Page Proof page 2 24.11.2007 2:24pm 2 The Language of Love point in his study of pre-Christian social welfare when he notes that in classical culture ‘‘philanthropy’’ meant love among men or human love not charity or social welfare.
