HOLBA PITTSBURGH, PA CONVOCATION MAY 2005 Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure February 7, 2005 Copyright © February 7, 2005 Annette M. Holba iii Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure Preface The advent of technology into society has saturated how human beings conduct daily communication (Postman 16; Winter 14). Technology has pushed leisure even further from our grasp, which reduces the human connection in our relationships as we have become driven by work and technology, instead of by human interest. The advent and subsequent saturation of technology ushered in a moral crisis in human communication. The moral crisis in human communication is an obscuration of the human element, meaning human beings often find it difficult to have a deep, thoughtful, and interested conversation with others. This obscuration has manifest into a culture of narcissism (Lasch, Narcissism 27; Kristeva 7) and a sense of existential homelessness (Arnett 229; Nietzsche 127). As a result of this moral crisis, human communication has degenerated into phatic conversation, small-talk, or meaningless chatter (Rorty, Mirror 372). This study calls for a rediscovery of philosophical leisure as one approach to human engagement. Philosophical leisure enables human beings to contribute valuable ingredients to idea-laden conversation. Contributing to conversation, or engaging the art of conversation, occurs when human interest envelops the conversational experience. Acknowledgments This research has been interesting, exciting, and time consuming. Understanding philosophical leisure is an important contribution to the study of human communication because philosophical leisure is communicative praxis. Philosophical leisure is a theoretical interest that has been considered by most significant thinkers responsible for iv Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure contributing to the development of Western thought. But philosophical leisure is not only grounded theoretically, it is something human beings ‘do.’ Therefore, communication scholarship can find bountiful paths to explore in theory and practice of philosophical leisure. This study can re-open the conversation about philosophical leisure from a communication perspective and invite cross disciplinary studies to enrich the conversation for a consummated examination. I must express my appreciation to my dissertation director, Pat Arneson, and my dissertation committee, Ronald C. Arnett and Richard Thames. Their direction and insight have been valuable and vital to the development of the ideas that follow. During the course of my doctorate study I studied Latin with Dr. Lawrence Gaichas, in the Classics Department, McAnulty College, Duquesne University. In the writing of this study I needed to revisit my Latin grammatical understandings with Dr. Gaichas. I am extremely grateful for his time and his consideration of my work and my questions. I thank my husband, Dennis, for putting up with my research and writing schedule that so often did not synchronize with his schedule. I thank my parents, Bill and June, for reading chapters for clarity and readability. I am extremely grateful to my daughters, Michele and Christina, who were the gatekeepers of every revised chapter document throughout the whole writing process. Finally, to Emily, who patiently and diligently watched as I typed away instead of rubbing her belly, thank you. One final note of gratitude. English words cannot fully express my appreciation to my dissertation director, Pat Arneson. Therefore, inter nos, labores nostrae, otium mihi dulce. Ab īmō pectore – gratiae. Amīcus certus in rē incertā cernitur. ☺ v Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure vi Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure Abstract Human communication in our postmodern era has degenerated into phatic communication. Phatic communication, appropriate in some circumstances, used unreflectively limits the ability for the development of healthy, idea-laden conversation. The phatic nature of communication represents a loss of human interest in human communication. Philosophical leisure can help to recapture the element of human interest in conversation, which recuperates an over-abundance of phaticity in human communication. Recuperation of communication occurs when ideas drive conversation. Philosophical leisure can help human beings to find substance for those ideas. This study considers how philosophical leisure can enrich human communication. vii Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure Contents Abstract.........................................................................................................................vii Chapter I Communicatio Humanus Quaestio ...................................................................1 Chapter 2 Sententiae de Aesthetics.................................................................................35 Chapter 3 Sententiae de Otio .........................................................................................53 Chapter 4 Otium: Fundus Colloquii...............................................................................90 Chapter 5 Aesthetic Experience of Philosophical Leisure and Implications for Communicative Praxis ...........................................................................................118 Bibliography................................................................................................................156 viii Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure Chapter I Communicatio Humanus Quaestio (The Problem in Human Communication) People commonly seek luxuries to make life efficient and easy – yet we often hear the comments “I’m busy,” “I’m tired,” or “I need more time!” People try to catch up with their work load and seemingly find themselves more behind than when they started. People say they need a vacation immediately after taking a vacation. People work to provide greater security for their future. The Western world is aggressive, competitive, and materialistic. All this work and material gathering is temporal and responsive to the societal environment in which one lives. The industrial revolution induced people to use mechanical and subsequently technological means for increasing efficiencies and ease of life. Human communication often reflects this contemporary shortcut to the good life. The progression toward this lifestyle foregrounds a material gathering of ‘things’ responsive to their immediate environment, which directs one’s attention in the world away from a meaning-laden life. Contemporary conversation is often self-oriented or about other people, which characterizes conversation as either monologic or gossip. Good conversation, that is, conversation with a human element, can nourish the mind because the focus of attention is on ideas rather than on the self or gossip about others. Ideas are open to spontaneity and therefore generate depth and novelty in conversation. Talking about the self or about others is often flat and narrowly focused, which disables depth and novelty. Nourishment from ideas invites contribution to conversation. The degeneration of conversation focused on the self or gossip about others interferes with the emergences and 1 Questioning the Rhetorical Eclipse of Philosophical Leisure 2 development of ideas. Therefore, this study looks for an alternative approach to refocusing attention toward a healthier aesthetic conversational ground. Leisure allows individuals to re-focus their attention in the world. Leisure, colloquially, has been misconstrued by many people for idleness, relaxation, entertainment, and other similar non-activities. One must also consider that historically leisure has meant different things to different microcultures. Leisure was a source of vice for the Puritans, a sign of privilege for egalitarians, and surplus to those Marxists elites (Pieper, Leisure xi). In 2004 human beings frequently mistake leisure for relaxation and entertainment. These historically shifting definitions of leisure have shifted our focus of attention in the world and in relation to other human beings. This alternate understanding is otium obscurum1 (an eclipse of leisure), which in turn can cause the quality of human communication to diminish or depreciate. This study examines the rhetorical eclipse of leisure to better understand the relationship between philosophical

  • Making Conversation: Fiction, Philosophy and the Social Medium
    Making Conversation: Fiction, Philosophy and the Social Medium By Erin Elizabeth Greer A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Elizabeth Abel, Chair Professor Anne-Lise François Professor Kent Puckett Professor Michael Lucey Spring 2018 Making Conversation: Fiction, Philosophy, and the Social Medium © 2018 By Erin Elizabeth Greer Abstract Making Conversation: Fiction, Philosophy, and the Social Medium by Erin Elizabeth Greer Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Abel, Chair Making Conversation: Fiction, Philosophy, and the Social Medium originates in the hazy self-awareness of the contemporary networked world, in which activities such as donating to political campaigns, posting on social media, and contributing to online scholarly reviews are frequently characterized as modes of participating in an ethereal and endless digital “conversation.” At the same time, works like Sherry Turkle’s recent Reclaiming Conversation express fears that the digital “conversation” is corroding our abilities to converse in person, thereby threatening our “capacity for empathy, friendship, and intimacy.” Moreover, recent political developments––the US’s 2016 election, the British “Brexit” referendum, and the increasing prominence of digitally organized hate groups––have stimulated fears that online “conversation” in its current form undermines democracy by precluding the development of a central public “conversation” based on agreed-upon facts, openness, and civility. Contemporary concerns about conversation in the digital age in fact extend a long philosophical tradition in which “conversation” has been made to index lofty aspirations for both public and intimate life.

  • John of Salisbury's Entheticus Maior and Minor, Edited by Jan Van Laarhoven
    Restoring Knowledge: John of Salisbury’s “Return to the Tree” by Gordon Gray M.F.A., University of California (Los Angeles), 1969 B.A., Stanford University, 1967 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Humanities Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Gordon Gray 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2013 Approval Name: Gordon Gray Degree: Master of Arts (Humanities) Title of Thesis: Restoring Knowledge: John of Salisbury’s “Return to the Tree” Examining Committee: Chair: Anne-Marie Feenberg-Dibon Associate Professor and Graduate Chair Paul Edward Dutton Senior Supervisor Professor Christine Jones Supervisor Senior Lecturer Emily O’Brien External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of History Date Defended/Approved: April 24, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract In 1159 CE, the English diplomat and ecclesiastic John of Salisbury published two books, the Policraticus and the Metalogicon, the former a treatise on the nature of good governance, and the latter a defence of classical education. Believing that political leadership should be based on moral precepts, John observed that moral judgment seemed to have been largely replaced in both church and state by personal ambition for wealth and power. Believing further that the knowledge required for moral judgment should be gained through proper education, John reasoned that knowledge itself had become fractured, and that it was necessary to return to that point and rebuild knowledge anew. Concluding that the fracture occurred with Adam’s expulsion from paradise for eating from the tree of knowledge, John reasoned that mankind must “return to the tree.” This thesis analyzes John’s “return to the tree” within the intellectual context of the twelfth-century renaissance.

  • Colleague, Critic, and Sometime Counselor to Thomas Becket
    JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT JOHN OF SALISBURY: COLLEAGUE, CRITIC, AND SOMETIME COUNSELOR TO THOMAS BECKET By L. Susan Carter John of Salisbury was one of the best educated men in the mid-twelfth century. The beneficiary of twelve years of study in Paris under the tutelage of Peter Abelard and other scholars, John flourished alongside Thomas Becket in the Canterbury curia of Archbishop Theobald. There, his skills as a writer were of great value. Having lived through the Anarchy of King Stephen, he was a fierce advocate for the liberty of the English Church. Not surprisingly, John became caught up in the controversy between King Henry II and Thomas Becket, Henry’s former chancellor and successor to Theobald as archbishop of Canterbury. Prior to their shared time in exile, from 1164-1170, John had written three treatises with concern for royal court follies, royal pressures on the Church, and the danger of tyrants at the core of the Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum , the Metalogicon , and the Policraticus. John dedicated these works to Becket. The question emerges: how effective was John through dedicated treatises and his letters to Becket in guiding Becket’s attitudes and behavior regarding Church liberty? By means of contemporary communication theory an examination of John’s writings and letters directed to Becket creates a new vista on the relationship between John and Becket—and the impact of John on this martyred archbishop.

  • John of Salisbury, the Policraticus, and Political Thought
    John of Salisbury, the Policraticus, and Political Thought Quentin Taylor Rogers State University Introduction Given his reputation as the most learned and literate man of his time, it is remarkable that John of Salisbury (ca.1120-1180) is not better known to the Western world. Granting the general “ob- scurity” of the Middle Ages, it remains odd that the man uni- formly recognized as the “finest flower” of the twelfth-century re- naissance has not attracted greater attention.1 What makes this state of affairs doubly ironic is that John is among the most read- able of medieval authors. By common consent, he was a stylist of the first order, and as a humanist he speaks in a language intelli- gible to the modern reader. Indeed, it is difficult to identify an- other writer between Augustine and Chaucer with a greater ap- peal to modern sensibility than the Sage of Salisbury.2 Perhaps the root cause of the general neglect of John is the fail- ure of modern scholarship to make his principal work, the Policraticus, readily available to teachers, students, and the read- ing public. To this day there is no complete English translation of QUENTIN TAYLOR is Associate Professor of History and Political Science at Rogers State University. 1 David Knowles, The Evolution of Medieval Thought (New York: Random House, 1962), 140. 2 As William Ebenstein has written, the Policraticus is “a thoroughly enjoy- able piece of literature, modern in its wit, urbanity, learning, balance, and per- spective.” Introduction to Political Philosophy (New York: Rhinehart, 1952), 65.

According to the analysis of this theory, drawn from the analogy with the human organism, the health of the whole depends on the healthy discharge by each part of its own proper function. Thus, the part is not only subordinate to the whole, but cannot exist apart from it.
