Marianne Rogoff

"Jon Green lives in the desert and works in concrete. His customers want cement driveways, cinder-block fences, stone walkways that lead to steps to patios to sculpted entries. The new shopping center needs sidewalks, Jiffy Lube hires him to build pits for men to stand under cars and examine the inner workings. Everyone needs a solid foundation."

The Remarkable Life And Career Of The Breton Ansger, Monk And Poet On The Loire Valley Who Became Bishop Of Catania In Sicily 1091-1124, George Beech

George T. Beech

A key figure in the establishment of the Latin church in Arabic Sicily after the Norman conquest was Bishop Ansger of Catania 1091-1124. Newly found information shows that, by origin a Breton, he first became a monk at St. Florent of Saumur in the Loire valley, then made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. After his return he entered the monastery of St. Eufemia in Calabria where his rise to the office of prior led Count Roger of Sicily to choose him, with the approval of Pope Urban II, as the first bishop of Catania and abbot of St. Agatha.

Review Of "The Mountain Poems Of Stonehouse" Translated By Red Pine And "Yellow River Odyssey" By Bill Porter, Justin Wadland Dec 2013

Review Of "The Mountain Poems Of Stonehouse" Translated By Red Pine And "Yellow River Odyssey" By Bill Porter, Justin Wadland

Justin Wadland

"The translator known as Red Pine thinks of translating in terms of dancing ... Over a career spanning three decades, Red Pine has danced with many classical Chinese poets and important works of Taoist and Buddhist literature, including the poet Han-Shan (or Cold Mountain), the Tao Te Ching, and the Heart Sutra. Informed by his own Buddhist practice and travels in Asia, Red Pine’s work is consistently characterized by a generosity of spirit that opens up these challenging texts to the English-speaking world." -- From the opening paragraph.

Marriage Rights For Transgender People In Hong Kong: Reading The W Case, John Nguyet Erni Dec 2013

Marriage Rights For Transgender People In Hong Kong: Reading The W Case, John Nguyet Erni

Professor John Nguyet Erni

This paper concerns a highly publicized Court case in Hong Kong, regarding a transsexual woman’s right to marriage. In 2010, Miss “W,” as she has been known, sought recognition of post-operative transsexuals as a legitimate “man” or “woman” in a matrimonial union.

This paper first briefly discusses the legal and social context for understanding marriage, …

Hermann Cohen And The Jewish Jesus, Robert Erlewine Dec 2013

Hermann Cohen And The Jewish Jesus, Robert Erlewine

Robert Erlewine

There is a distinguished German Protestant tradition that understands Jesus, that is, his thoughts and consciousness, as essentially Greek rather than Jewish. Included in this tradition are such luminaries as Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schleiermacher, and Adolf von Harnack. Hermann Cohen is not the first Jewish thinker to oppose this notion and insist upon Jesus’s Jewishness.1 However, his account of the Jewish Jesus, particularly as it is developed in his two major treatises on philosophy of religion, Der Begriff der Religion im System der Philosophie [The Concept of Religion in the System of Philosophy] and Religion of Reason Out of the …
