CHANGING MIND; A FINAL STATEMENT 89 BIBLIOGRAPHY 100 CHAPTER I A DESIRE TO SEARCH A large part of the history of religion and philosophy is an attempt to define the self. From classical to modern thought, man has been attempting to answer the question, "What is self?" Of course, over a period of years the form of the question has changed from, "What is the soul," to "What is the mind," to "What is the ego," to "What is the true identity." The basic quest, however, has always been the same. It is a search for the core of man—his real self. Socrates argued in the Phaedo that the rational soul was immortal because it was a perfect and unified substance and therefore was indestructible.* The Christian view, as seen in the Gospels and the Epistles of Paul, also approached the soul as a unified substance. This view, however, also saw the soul as created by God to be immortal. It placed a great value on the human personality and became the most popular conception of the self in western civilization. * J. D. Kaplan, ed* , Dialogues of Plato (New York's Wash- ington Square Press, Inc.7~19507™P* 100. Much later Descartes started with his own self as a clear and distinct idea. After trying to release himself from all doubtful beliefs, from all presuppositions, he still 2 was forced to say, "I think, hence I am," Therefore, the whole essence or nature of "I" consisted in thinking. The philosopher David Hume in Treatise of Human Nature contested the definiton of the self as a unified part of man. Hume affirmed that man is • • nothing but a bundle or col- lection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux, and movement• The mind is a kind of theater where several perceptions successively make their appearance, pass, repass, glide away, and mingle in an infinite variety of postures and 3 situations . There were, of course, many other writers who expressed ideas regarding the self—from Darwin to Freud to James Joyce to many others. Western civilization has a rich tradition of ideas concerning the identification of the self. 2 Charles Hirschfeld, ed., Classics of Western Thought (New York: Hareourt, Brace and World, Inc., 1964), p. 20. ^Stanley Kunitz, "The Poetry of Conrad Aiken,H Nation, 133 (1931)» P. 393. — 3 Against this background Conrad Aiken is not unique, for he too is'seeking to define the self. Yet his main method of communication is his poetry. If there is a single theme in the work of Conrad Aiken, R. P. Blackmur has observed, "it is the struggle of the mind which has become permanently aware of itself to rediscover and unite itself with the world in which it it is lodged." Certainly one can find in one long poem after another Aiken's attempt to express and clarify the search for self. He came to call this search his "Divine Pilgrimage. Aiken himself has expressed his unusual preoccupation with self-consciousness when he summarized the beliefs which guided much of his works Consciousness is our supreme gift. ... To see, to re- member, to know, to feel, to understand, as much as pos- sible—isn't this perhaps the most obviously indicated of motives or beliefs, the noblest and most all-compre- hending of ideas which it is relatively possible for us to realize? Because his search for self is such a dominant and im- portant theme of his work and because it grows out of a rich k R. P. Blackmur, "Conrad Aikeni The Poet," Atlantic, 192 (1953). p. 78.

Because Aiken is such a prolific creator, it is nec- essary to limit a study of this kind to a certain number of his v/orks. This study will be limited to Aiken's The Divine Pilgrim, Conrad Aiken has explained the vital importance of this collection of poems in understanding his search for self. The collection, consisting of six long poems, deals with, as Aiken explains, "The problem of personal identity, the struggle of the individual for an awareness of what it is that con- stitutes his consciousness* an attempt to place himself, to relate himself to the world of which he feels himself to be at once an observer and an integral part.

  • All Available Biographical Information About Robert Adams from People
    All Available Biographical Information about Robert Adams from People who Knew Him Collected from the Internet May, 2021 It is obvious from listening to Robert’s satsangs and reading the transcripts that he is speaking from a consistent and deep experience of the truth. This expression is articulate, witty and wide- ranging. However, if one ventures to know who Robert was as a person, it immediately becomes difficult. He hardly seems to have spoken or written anything about his biography, and what little he did has been limited from spreading by well-known threats of litigation and take-down orders. What reportage is available ranges from the hagiographical to the defamatory. Which presentation of Robert is “true?” One answer could be that it does not matter as much as the deeper truth pointed to in his teachings. Another answer could be that aspects of all the reports are true, insofar as the people sharing them believe and stand by them, and they help to convey aspects of what Robert may have been like as a teacher and person, while the “whole picture” is about as clear or reliable as anything in the ephemeral manifestation of this world. At the very least it is important to have all these accounts of Robert from individuals who knew him collected in one document from the shifting landscape of the Internet, for the historical record.

  • Why Does So Much Christian Teaching Fail To
    “Why does so much Christian teaching fail to fulfill the biblical mandate to transform lives through the impartation of living truth? Gary Newton, a knowl- edgeable and passionate Christian teacher and preacher, explains why: We fail to reach the heart of the person with the heart of the Bible through the power of the Holy Spirit. This wise and well-written book helps correct this pedagogical tragedy and should be read by all Christian teachers and preachers.” Douglas Groothuis Professor of Philosophy, Denver Seminary “I know of no one who passionately weds what he teaches in the classroom with what he practices in ministry better than Gary Newton. Heart-Deep Teaching is for all kinds of teachers who want to connect deeply with students and develop as individuals and teachers themselves. The personal and ministry examples Gary shares are worth the price of the book. If you want to develop personally as a teacher by learning from Jesus himself; if your desire is to effect heart-deep change by understanding how people learn; and if you are looking for tested and proven practices rooted in one teacher-practitioner’s forty years of experience, this book is for you.” William A. Heth Professor of Biblical Studies, Taylor University “This book meets a crucial need in today’s churches. Thousands of faith- ful people teach Bible studies each week. Yet they often do not know how to teach the Bible to transform lives. Writing from years of teaching and pastoral experience, Gary Newton guides readers in the exciting journey of getting to the heart of the text to get at the heart of readers.” Paul House Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School of Samford University “Heart-Deep Teaching, written by an experienced teacher, offers an insight- ful teaching-learning framework for helping students of all ages respond deeply to Bible-based lessons.

In this paper, I investigate what Jason Wirth calls’ Bataille’s “mad game of writing” in order to show that Bataille’s bizarre writing style is actually an extension of his ethical and philosophical commitments. Bataille’s writing attempts to produce a state within the reader rather than simply transmit information. I trace the justifications and roots for such a writing from his own system, as well as showing how such a style of writing has its roots in Kantian aesthetics and in Hegel’s Phenomenology. I live by tangible experience and not by logical explanation. I have of the divine an experience so mad that one will laugh at me if I speak of it.

  • 305 Gayane Grigoryan Lost Generation: Love and Life
    GAYANE GRIGORYAN LOST GENERATION: LOVE AND LIFE FOR A GENERATION OF SOULS LOST IN THE WORLD The Lost Generation defines a sense of moral loss or aimlessness apparent in literary figures during the 1920s. World War I seemed to have destroyed the idea that if you acted virtuously, good things would happen. Many good, young men went to war and died, or returned home either physically or mentally wounded, and their faith in the moral guideposts that had earlier given them hope, were no longer valid...they were lost. The term was popularized by Ernest Hemingway who used it as one of two contrasting epigraphs for his novel The Sun Also Rises. In that volume Hemingway credits the phrase to Gertrude Stein, who was then his mentor and patron1. The status of affairs in America in the years following the First World War spawned a generation of authors termed the lost generation. In response to the political and social atmosphere of the United States these authors sought cultural refuge in European cities. Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald are two prominent authors who followed the path to becoming the lost generation. In their works The Sun Also Rises and Tender Is The Night, listed respectively, Hemingway and Fitzgerald provide works of literature that embody the spirit of the lost generation. Through provision of an account of the lost generation and analysis of Hemingways and Fitzgeralds texts, the textual embodiment of lost generation values will be highlighted. In its most literal definition it would seem as if a lost generation would not have a history.

It takes us on voyages with poetic (1911–1979) devices such as imagery, metaphor, rhythm, and rhyme. The poet shares ideas 1950–1952 CONRAD AIKEN with readers and listeners; readers and listeners share ideas with each other. And (1889–1973) anyone can be part of this exchange. Although poetry is, perhaps wrongly, often 1952 seen as an exclusive domain of a cultured minority, many writers and readers of WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS (1883–1963) poetry oppose this stereotype. There will likely always be debates about how 1956–1958 transparent, how easy to understand, poetry should be, and much poetry, by its RANDALL JARRELL very nature, will always be esoteric. But that’s no reason to keep it out of reach. (1914–1965) Today’s most honored poets embrace the idea that poetry should be accessible 1958–1959 ROBERT FROST to everyone.
