Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil

Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil

Stephen Ridd

University of Oklahoma Press
2017
nidottu
Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid are three of the most important - and influential - works of Western classical literature. Although they differ in subject matter and authorship, these epic poems share a common purpose: to tell the ""deeds both of men and of the gods."" Written in an accessible style and ideally suited for classroom use, Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil offers a unique comparative analysis of these classic works. As author Stephen Ridd explains, the common themes of communication, love, and death respond to ""deeply ingrained human needs"" and are therefore of perennial interest. Presenting select passages from the original Greek and Latin texts - translated here into modern English - Ridd explores in detail how the characters within the poems communicate on these subjects with one another as well as with the reader. Individual chapters focus on subjects such as the traditions of singing and storytelling, relationships between sons and mothers, the role of Helen of Troy and her ties to the men in her life, and communication with the dead. Throughout his analysis, Ridd treats the three poems on an equal basis, revealing similarities and differences in their handling of prevalent themes. By introducing readers to a new way of reading these abiding classics, Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil enhances our appreciation of the imaginative world of ancient Greek and Roman epic poetry.

The Great Riddle

The Great Riddle

Stephen Mulhall

Oxford University Press
2015
sidottu
Can we talk meaningfully about God? The theological movement known as Grammatical Thomism affirms that religious language is nonsensical, because the reality of God is beyond our capacity for expression. Stephen Mulhall critically evaluates the claims of this movement (as exemplified in the work of Herbert McCabe and David Burrell) to be a legitimate inheritor of Wittgenstein's philosophical methods as well as Aquinas's theological project. The major obstacle to this claim is that Grammatical Thomism makes the nonsensicality of religious language when applied to God a touchstone of Thomist insight, whereas 'nonsense' is standardly taken to be solely a term of criticism in Wittgenstein's work. Mulhall argues that, if Wittgenstein is read in the terms provided by the work of Cora Diamond and Stanley Cavell, then a place can be found in both his early work and his later writings for a more positive role to be assigned to nonsensical utterances--one which depends on exploiting an analogy between religious language and riddles. And once this alignment between Wittgenstein and Aquinas is established, it also allows us to see various ways in which his later work has a perfectionist dimension--in that it overlaps with the concerns of moral perfectionism, and in that it attributes great philosophical significance to what theology and philosophy have traditionally called 'perfections' and 'transcendentals', particularly concepts such as Being, Truth, and Unity or Oneness. This results in a radical reconception of the role of analogous usage in language, and so in the relation between philosophy and theology.

Both-And: Ridding our theology of spin and letting the Bible say what it says

Both-And: Ridding our theology of spin and letting the Bible say what it says

Stephen a. Beale

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
"The truth is that we all have different sets of 'clear' and 'unclear' passages."All Christian denominations use an exegetical principle which is most often described as "use the clear verses of Scripture to interpret the unclear verses." Unfortunately, that always leaves them in the position of having to "spin" the verses that don't seem to agree with their theology on the surface. This produces the sad state affairs that all of Christendom is founded on spin control. This book offers a different perspective. We seek, first of all, to understand our brothers and sisters by recognizing their bedrock principles. We then move beyond the clear/unclear exegetical principle to a new and more Biblical model: allowing the Bible to say what it says. And then rejoice and learn at the new wonders this attitude brings us. This new principle can often be summed up as "Both-And." It is not a call to a politically correct "acceptance." Rather it is a call to a difficult and sometimes perplexing challenge to simply allow the Bible to say what it says - even when it seems to contradict our ideas or even itself. This book takes a practical approach to examining several key doctrines. We hope that it re-opens the Bible's key messages to you in new and personal ways.

Solving The Riddle Of Phyllotaxis: Why The Fibonacci Numbers And The Golden Ratio Occur On Plants

Solving The Riddle Of Phyllotaxis: Why The Fibonacci Numbers And The Golden Ratio Occur On Plants

Irving Adler; Stephen L Adler

Foreword by Stephen L Adler (Institute for Advanced Study, USA)Illustrations by Peggy Adler The term Phyllotaxis refers to the patterns on plants formed by the arrangement of repeated biological units. In nearly all cases, the Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio occur in these arrangements. This topic has long fascinated scientists. Over a period of more than two decades, Irving Adler wrote a number of papers that construct a rigorously derived mathematical model for Phyllotaxis, which are major and enduring contributions to the field. These papers are collected in this reprint volume to enable their access to a wider readership.

Cardinal Martini approaches the figure of Stephen, the first martyr, by beginning with what is described in Chapters 6-8 of the Acts of the Apostles, 'an impressive document of a man's retrospective view in the face of death, of himself, the history of salvation, of what Christ has meant for him and the future to which he has been called.' Reflection on the figure of Stephen is important for the entire community of believers; in fact with Stephen 'the Church feels the seriousness of being both witness and servant: It understands that abandoning oneself to God does not save one from death, but it does allow one to pass through death, contemplating the glory of God; it recognises what it is that God saves us and does not save us from and what he prepares us for.'The richness of these meditations lies in this summary of things. It lies in the experience of a man who is approaching the revelation of the proximity of a transcendent and immanent God and at the same time arrives 'at the culmination of his mission as servant witness, ' experiencing the mystery that he proclaims, contemplates and adores, in his very own body.
