Ninety-Nine And One-Half, Deborah R. Williamson
Ninety-Nine And One-Half, Deborah R. Williamson
Institute for the Humanities Theses
Ninety-nine and One-half is a novella about a young man's journey from self-doubt to self-revelation which parallels his physical journey from a coma to an awakening. In twenty spare chapters the memories of his life before the coma are intertwined with the actions of his family and friends after he becomes comatose. Through the young man's memories and the reflections about him by the other characters, the reader sees what has led the young man to an almost fatal indecision. The resolution of the novella comes when the young man adequately distances himself from the guilt, fear, and unhappiness that …
The Theology Of Father Brown, Catherine Miles Flynn
The Theology Of Father Brown, Catherine Miles Flynn
Institute for the Humanities Theses
This thesis explores the theological thought of G. K. Chesterton, particularly as it is found in his detective short stories about Father Brown. In his other works (e.g., Orthodoxy, Heretics, and his many books of essays), the theology of Chesterton is obvious. However, in the light, whimsical Father Brown stories the theology expressed is often profound, but underrated if not ignored by his critics. Specific examples from his stories will be used to highlight the theological points within the mysteries.
The life and times of Chesterton are discussed as having highly influenced his thought. His unconventional religious upbringing, in particular, …
The Parties Quarrae, Michael E. Malone
The Parties Quarrae, Michael E. Malone
Institute for the Humanities Theses
During Thomas Jefferson's educational days in Williamsburg, Virginia, he was fortunate to have the association with three learned men, William Small, George Wythe, and Lt. Governor Francis Fauquier. The men met often at the governor's palace during the years 1760-64. Jefferson referred to their association as the "parties quarrae."
Most historians agree that the time spent with Small, Wythe, and Fauquier had profound influence on the establishment of Jefferson's "enlightenment" philosophy. Little, however, is known about the details of the regular meetings in the palace.
The focus of this creative project is the fictional discovery of Jefferson's "lost" Autobiography, finished …
Creativity Its Phenomenology In Man And Nature, Margaret L. Mccoy
Creativity Its Phenomenology In Man And Nature, Margaret L. Mccoy
Institute for the Humanities Theses
The phenomenal world comes into being. The act is an autonomous process weaving the abstract world and the concrete world into one reality. We name this process "Creativity." A journey into mind and matter, into the inner subjective realm and the outer objective realm, is required to observe Creativity's grand performance. Western thought may be revolutionized in finding that in exploring Creativity man is exploring himself; Nature has consciousness as he does, and barriers between mind and matter are non-existent in the womb of creation. As ancient philosophies and mystical ideas of the East once proposed: the Many is One. …
"But Where Shall Understanding Be Found?" Searching For Sophia, Personified Wisdom, Kathleen Damiani
"But Where Shall Understanding Be Found?" Searching For Sophia, Personified Wisdom, Kathleen Damiani
Institute for the Humanities Theses
The thesis examines the image of Sophia, divine feminine wisdom, from the point of view of -archetypal psychology. The paper describes the emergence of Sophia in the Old Testament against the background of the development of monotheism in Judaism. Modern scholarship defines Sophia in religious terms, thus restricting her meaning to the limits imposed by the Judaeo-Christian concept of God. When the "problem" of Sophia is removed from the language of theology, however, and re-examined from the perspective of archetypal psychology, new meanings emerge. The position taken is that Sophia is an archetypal image which personifies the capacity of reflection …
Playdance, Gary Ryan Brown
Playdance, Gary Ryan Brown
Institute for the Humanities Theses
Playdance is a play in three acts which studies the relationships between parents and their children. The development of the script and the intended production was spurred by the pain that so many families experience as children grow away from their parents control. This look at the Denton household was an attempt to help understand the suffering and the feeling of solitude that so often accompanies this familial trauma. It was my intention to write a script that would be an exciting and insightful evening of theatre, but one that would remain accessible to a single and perhaps novice reader. …
Overall Laughing One And The Experiences, Anina Porter Adams
Overall Laughing One And The Experiences, Anina Porter Adams
Institute for the Humanities Theses
A fictional play based on the study of writings by psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung. The action is set in the imaginary realm of archetypes, amoral personified energies which appear in tales from diverse cultures. In this play the mythical characters move in an ordered, ritualistic manner. They are dependent upon a geometrically centered black box for the provision of human forms through which they experience "being." A female is the human form provided in this instance and she combines her own energy with that of the other characters though she is not conscious of this fact. The archetypal energies focus …
