Northrop Frye And The Phenomenology Of Myth, Glen Robert Gill Dec 2006

Northrop Frye And The Phenomenology Of Myth, Glen Robert Gill

Department of Classics and General Humanities Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

In Northrop Frye and the Phenomenology of Myth, Glen Robert Gill compares Frye's theories about myth to those of three other major twentieth-century mythologists: C.G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Mircea Eliade. Gill explores the theories of these respective thinkers as they relate to Frye's discussions of the phenomenological nature of myth, as well as its religious, literary, and psychological significance.

Gill substantiates Frye's work as both more radical and more tenable than that of his three contemporaries. Eliade's writings are shown to have a metaphysical basis that abrogates an understanding of myth as truly phenomenological, while Jung's theory of …

The Preface provides a synopsis of Buddhism and introduces Nichiren. It also discusses the …


Michel Henry's Phenomenology Of Aesthetic Experience, Jeremy H. Smith Jun 2006

Michel Henry's Phenomenology Of Aesthetic Experience, Jeremy H. Smith

English Faculty Scholarship

In 'Voir l'invisible' Michel Henry applies his philosophy of autoaffection to the realm of aesthetics. Henry claims that autoaffection, as nonobjective experience, is essential not only to self-experience, but also to the experience of objects and their qualities. On the basis of an examination of Henry's aesthetic theory in the light of Husserl's analysis of our experience of visible objects, I conclude that revisions are required in both Husserl's and Henry's approaches: Husserl's noema must be considered to be a lived-through experience, and nonobjective lived-through experience must be recognized as primordial evidence; Henry's claim that …
