Vos Focusing on the grammar and vocabulary of virtue in Kierkegaard’s upbuilding works, it is argued that the Danish philosopher represents a Christian conception of the moral life that is distinct from but—contrary to Alasdair MacIntyre’s claim—not completely opposed to Aristotelian and Thomistic virtue ethics. Although the realities of sin and salvation transcend virtue ethics based purely on human nature, it is demonstrated that this does not prevent Kierkegaard from speaking constructively about human nature, its teleology (a teleological conception of the self) and about the virtues. -

The Use of Tactical Absurdity in (Post-)Conceptual Art Practice
University of Southampton Faculty of Arts and Humanities Winchester School of Art The Use of Tactical Absurdity in (Post-)Conceptual Art Practice by Dave Ball Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sep 2020 1 University of Southampton Abstract Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Winchester School of Art The Use of Tactical Absurdity in (Post-)Conceptual Art Practice by Dave Ball The ‘tactical absurdity’ forwarded in this research emerged out of my own practice. I, like many other artists working in a conceptual tradition, was producing work that appeared to operate through some sort of absurdity, and with some sort of intentionality. There was, however, almost nothing in the literature that could account for this approach. The term ‘absurdity’ is deployed by artists, critics, and curators alike with little precision or consistency; usages borrowed from literature or existential philosophy sit alongside everyday understandings, and frequently fail to discriminate between absurdity as a formal device and absurdity as a subject-matter. Its meaning is treated as self-evident. Adopting an emergent and autoethnographic practice-based methodology, this research furnishes a practical and theoretical understanding of the operation of tactical absurdity deployed as a device in (post-)conceptual art practice. Over the course of the research, five objectives are achieved: (i) to define the concept of absurdity; (ii) to establish a context for the use of tactical absurdity in contemporary (post-)conceptual art practice; (iii) to develop a body of work that operates through tactical absurdity; (iv) to account for its emergence within a practice; and (v) to forward a theoretical analysis of its functionality and value modelled through notions of relativity, generativity, and criticality. -

The Reader and the Poet
THE READER AND THE POET THE TRANSFORMATION OF LATIN POETRY IN THE FOURTH CENTURY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aaron David Pelttari August 2012 i © 2012 Aaron David Pelttari ii The Reader and the Poet: The Transformation of Latin Poetry in the Fourth Century Aaron Pelttari, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 In Late Antiquity, the figure of the reader came to play a central role in mediating the presence of the text. And, within the tradition of Latin poetry, the fourth century marks a turn towards writing that privileges the reader’s involvement in shaping the meaning of the text. Therefore, this dissertation addresses a set of problems related to the aesthetics of Late Antiquity, the reception of Classical Roman poetry, and the relation between author and reader. I begin with a chapter on contemporary methods of reading, in order to show the ways in which Late Antique authors draw attention to their own interpretations of authoritative texts and to their own creation of supplemental meaning. I show how such disparate authors as Jerome, Augustine, Servius, and Macrobius each privileges the work of secondary authorship. The second chapter considers the use of prefaces in Late Antique poetry. The imposition of paratextual borders dramatized the reader’s involvement in the text. In the third chapter, I apply Umberto Eco’s idea of the open text to the figural poetry of Optatianus Porphyrius, to the Psychomachia of Prudentius, and to the centos from Late Antiquity. -

Introduction
INTRODUCTION It is one of the characteristics of the present age that books of the previous century are reissued with more or less— usually less—learned prefaces. The point is partly that the new edition should have something new in it; partly that the reader should be told what a great classic will confront him when he is done with the preface. The reader wants to be reassured that he is not going to waste his time. And he is also supposed to be anxious to know what he should think of the book—which is another way of saying that he is supposed to be afraid of having to think for himself, though this is after all the only kind of thinking there is. In Kierkegaard's words, in The Present Age, the reader must be reassured that ' something is going to happen,' for ' ours is the age of advertisement and publicity.' Indeed, the preface is expected to say what is going to happen—or, more precisely, which parts of what is about to happen may be safely forgotten, which points are memorable, and what observations about them should be remembered for use in conversation. The fact that a man wrote books to attack these and other features of the present age and that he strained to be offensive, especially to parsons and professors, provides no protection whatsoever. For it is also one of the features of the present age not to take offence, if only the author's reputation is above question and one can be sure that reading him is not a waste of time. -

Kierkegaard, Literature, and the Arts
Kierke gaard, Literature, and the Arts Engraving, ca. 1837, by Carl Strahlheim showing the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, with what was then the Schauspielhaus, or Theater (center)— now the concert house of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin— flanked by the German Cathedral (left) and the French Cathedral (right). Pictured in the background to the immediate right of the theater is the building, still standing today, in which Kierkegaard lodged during his four stays in Berlin, in 1841– 42, 1843, 1845, and 1846. It was there, as noted by a plaque outside, that Kierkegaard wrote the first drafts of Either/Or, Repetition, and Fear and Trembling.

Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing by Sören Kierkegaard
Purity of Heart Is to Will One Thing by Sören Kierkegaard This book was first published by Harper in 1938. It was translated from the Danish and contains an introductory essay by Douglas V. Steere. Prepared for Religion Online by Ted and Willie Brock. Translator’s Introduction by Douglas V. Steere A helpful summary of Kierketaard's basic positions, written by an outstanding scholar of his work. Douglass Steere was Professor of philosophy at Haverford College. Preface A woman doing needlework on an altar cloth does not want the work admired or criticized, but rather that the intent of the work is that it be seen for its higher purpose. Kierkegaard desires his writing receive the same attention. Chapter 1: Introduction: Man and the Eternal In relation to the eternal, a man ages neither in the sense of time nor in the sense of an accumulation of past events. There is something eternal in a man, and the eternal must be able to exist and to be grasped within every change. Chapter 2: Remorse, Repentance, Confession: Eternity’s Emissaries to Man Remorse is a guide that calls out to the wanderer that he should take care. In confession one becomes at one with himself. Chapter 3: Barriers to Willing One Thing: Variety and Great Moments Are Not One Thing To will one thing can only mean to will the good, because every other object is not a unity. The will that only wills that another object, therefore, must become double-minded. Chapter 4: Barriers to Willing One Thing: The Reward-Disease If a man can will one thing, then he must will the Good, for the Good alone is one.
