The Gospel According To Augustine: Augustine's Use Of The Gospels In The Confessions, Nikki Goodrick
The Gospel According To Augustine: Augustine's Use Of The Gospels In The Confessions, Nikki Goodrick
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
St. Augustine makes use of many predecessors and precursors throughout his work, the Confessions. Among the most prominent of these predecessors are the writings of the early Christian church, in particular the Gospels. Augustine makes extensive use of the Gospels throughout his work but it is quite obvious that he does not view them to be a homogenous group but four distinctly different books. Augustine approaches each book in a markedly different manner and uses them for distinctly different purposes in the Confessions. He pays special attention to the Gospel of John and from this book he derives the most …
A Salinger-Ized Socrates, Jodi Geren
A Salinger-Ized Socrates, Jodi Geren
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
Throughout the Gorgias, Plato returns to irony to color the characters in their plights of ambiguity and inability. Present in nearly every layer and language form operating within the work, irony is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to the modernist and timeless tone of the dialogue. Using this technique, Plato is able to layer antagonism, infer implication, and make every character seem slightly out of his element, thus provoking an awkward, but seemingly necessary situation. This paper portrays Socrates as the anti-hero, the ancient Holden Caulfield.
Confessions, Rachel Duvack
Confessions, Rachel Duvack
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
Augustine of Hippo was a man who wanted two inharmonious states. He wanted to have the security of an absolute and sustaining faith in God, a faith that would have proscribed and clear definitions of what he should believe. At the same time, he was quite unable to control the roaming of his restless, seeking mind. Written 10 years after his conversion, the Confessions is both an exploration of his changed thinking since his conversion and a message from the Bishop of Hippo to his congregants. It is his attempt to reconcile his need for faith with his consuming doubts …
The Protagoras, Rebecca Sparks
The Protagoras, Rebecca Sparks
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
In the Protagoras Plato points out the reasons Socrates was allowed to be tried and condemned to die even though this was against everything the city stood for. By being at conflict with the society and those around him, and in no small part, because he was a Sophist, Socrates ends up doing himself in. As Socrates moves from one narrative frame to another, he not only shows what it is he cares about, but also how he manages to annoy just about everyone. This paper traces just how Plato illustrates Socrates’s Sophist traits.
Plato's Phaedo, Adam Coberley
Plato's Phaedo, Adam Coberley
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
Plato's Phaedo is a work in which five complex language forms are used in an intertwining manner in order to form complex ideas. These five language forms are responsible for creating everything that comes out of the Phaedo and are responsible for the formation of any ideas that the reader might make. These forms, narrative frame, periods of debate and interlocution, long speeches, mythopoeisis, and allusions to the cultural corpus join together in order to form the Phaedo. This paper focuses on these concepts but makes more explicit use of the narrative frame to show how all five interact in …
The Consolation Of Philosophy, Heather Springgay
The Consolation Of Philosophy, Heather Springgay
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
The general situation and theme within Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, and the Phaedo, contain striking similarities, but even more striking are the differences that redefine Boethius' work. The Consolation presents a work that in its basic text describes the time before Boethius' execution, while the Phaedo examines Socrates before he is put to death. In each work similar discussions on death and dying are presented. These aspects of the works, however, are where the similarities end. Instead, by placing Lady Philosophy in Socrates' position, the reader is able to examine the Phaedo as a dialogue on the life, death and …
A Hermeneutic Reading Of Natalie Barney And Renee Vivien, Antoinette Sherman
A Hermeneutic Reading Of Natalie Barney And Renee Vivien, Antoinette Sherman
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
Traditional representational discourses have constructed others within Europe-women, homosexuals, the insane-as well as others external to Europe. As two lesbian women born at the turn of the century, Natalie Barney and Renee Vivien were the traditional other to their native land. In response to this, each chose expatriation and made France her permanent home, where they created a working and living relationship that would last for nearly fifteen years. Leaving one's world and culture behind, voluntarily or involuntarily, means engaging oneself in a complex process of composing one's identity and otherness. For Natalie Barney and Renee Vivien, French language and …
The Consolation Of Philosophy, Shawna Purcell
The Consolation Of Philosophy, Shawna Purcell
Anthós Journal (1990-1996)
As twentieth century readers we can understand earlier works such as the Consolation of Philosophy by reading it against a traditional background and applying the four fold scheme of interpretation. This paper shows how Boethius has deeply woven into his poems the philosophies and writing styles of his predecessors Homer, Seneca, Ovid and Plato, including the Stoics. In addition, this paper shows that, like the planets, each unique, but made of similar elements, Boethius attained his own notoriety by building on the works of his predecessors.
