Early Kierkegaard And The Zen Koan: A Study In Religous Experience, Gregory R. Dell '67

Honors Projects

Religous experience is a puzzling phenomenon . It has appeared extensively throughout the history of man as a primary element in shaping his culture....I will try to examine the nature of the religious experience as it is conceived by the existential theologian Soren Kierkegaard and the Lin Chi or Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism. Further, I hope to point out the similarities of their methods in attaining this level of experience.

The Evolution Of Sacred Dance In The Judeo-Christian Tradition, Jade Luerssen '67

Honors Projects

The universe is permeated by rhythm, harmony , and patterned movement--the movement of stars through the galaxy, the rotation of the earth, the rising and setting of the sun, the seasons, the cycle of birth, growth and death. Therefore, it is perfectly natural that man respond deeply and significantly to these ordered rhythms that make up his life, his world , and his universe .

The Argument For Immortality In Plato's Phaedrus, Thomas M. Robinson

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The Phaedrus seems to be saying that soul is the cause of all movement in an organized world, a world measurable by Time. In a non-organized world not measurable by Time one can wonder whether the movement in question has anything to do with this. At this stage words start to break down under the strain. Plato is compelled to give some description of the pre-cosmic chaos, and talk of movement in such a world is no more and no less intelligible than phrases like 'before this' (53a8) in the same passage, when Time has been admitted to be absent. …

The Creation Myth In Plato's Timaeus, Leonardo Taran

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the question whether the creation myth in Plato's Timaeus is to be taken literally or not. My reason for reopening the discussion is the recent publication by Professor Vlastos of a paper entitled "Creation in the Timaeus: is it a Fiction?" In this paper Vlastos tries to answer the arguments that Professor Cherniss gave in favor of the metaphorical interpretation, in the course of which arguments he attacked Vlastos' earlier article "The Disorderly Motion in the Timaeus?. My reason for concentrating on Professor Vlastos ' papers is that his is the most …

An Inquiry Into Aristotle's Use Of Proportionality, Thomas Olshewsky

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

This paper is an exploratory investigation of the use of analogy in Aristotle's works. The thesis is that Aristotle's analogia is not simply a classification of terms as certain scholars suggest (e.g., Joseph Owens and Harry Wolfson); that it is rather a more or less precise methodological device that Aristotle uses throughout his writings and indicates certain ontological presuppositions on the part of the Stagirite. We will first investigate the etymological background of analogia, and then consider Aristotle's uses of it. On the basis of these considerations, we will attempt to formulate its ontological and historical significance. Finally, we will …

ANNUALLY, as summer ends and fall arrives, another academic year begins, and, for seven years now, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY issues the first number of a new volume. Here is Number 1 of Volume VIII containing our usual variety and somewhat more. Occasionally recollecting our pedagogical mission, we turn to the field of education; more frequently we find space for an essay or two on history or historians, although subjects from American literature easily lead in any tabulation of our titles. We cannot say, with the late Somerset Maugham, "The mixture as before," nor can we …

PRECEDENTS for a summer literary number are easy to find; our last three July issues come instantly to mind, but the tradition is far older than 1963. Summer used to be a leisurely season, replete with long lazy afternoons, lawns sloping gently down to water, frosted pitchers of lemonade, and books-from Hervey Allen to Stefan Zweig, Dreiser, Faulkner, Fielding, Fitzgerald, Hardy, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Howells, Sterne, Trollope, Turgenev, Zola, and a hundred others. Summer reading was an institution; there was time for it and its deepest enjoyment. The institution was a good one, memorable and permanently …
