On Separating The Intellect From The Body: Aristotle's De Anima Iii.4, 429a10-B5, John E. Sisko Mar 1999

On Separating The Intellect From The Body: Aristotle's De Anima Iii.4, 429a10-B5, John E. Sisko

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Aristotle is clearly aware that the theory of separable intellect is not without its own difficulties. One difficulty is that of how intellect is to come to possess its objects. These objects first exist (potentially) in material things, but material things (it would seem) share no underlying generic sameness with separable (immaterial) intellect. So, upon consideration of his own account of agency and patiency, which requires that agent and patient hold something in common (see Generation and Corruption 1.7), it becomes unclear to Aristotle how it is that separable intellect, having nothing in common with anything else, is to ever …

Inner Darkness: Images Of The Unconscious In Virgil's Aeneid, Frank Peter Bendewald Jan 1999

Inner Darkness: Images Of The Unconscious In Virgil's Aeneid, Frank Peter Bendewald

Honors Theses, 1963-2015

Dark, dire images pervade the Aeneid, and the epic poem's final lines are decidedly unsettling. Through his images and symbols, Virgil depicts a conflict within Aeneas, and he seems to deliberately resolve it in a way that leaves his reader disquieted. Aeneas' conflict, like Achilles' inner struggle in the Iliad, is as a semi-divine hero, born of a goddess and a mortal man, torn between his mortal and divine sides, and it can been seen as the human conflict between body and spirit. In resolving this heroic, and indeed human, conflict, Virgil shows his hero darkly acquiescing to his divine …

An Ovidian Epigraph In Jude The Obscure, Emily A. Mcdermott Jan 1999

An Ovidian Epigraph In Jude The Obscure, Emily A. Mcdermott

Classics & Religious Studies Faculty Publication Series

In part first of Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, the hero undergoes a tragic, if unexceptional, peripeteia. Having set himself idealistically and single-mindedly on the path to intellectual advancement, he is filled with "a warm self-content" at his prospects of moving onward to university study, where his "present knowledge will appear ... but as childish ignorance." Progress toward Christminster, however, is halted abruptly when the innocent Jude Fawley falls prey to Arabella, that "complete and substantial female animal." Suddenly, his Greek New Testament left open but unheeded, he plummets into a sordid spiral of seduction, entrapment, and imprisonment in a …


An Atypical Affair? Alexander The Great, Hephaistion Amyntoros And The Nature Of Their Relationship, Jeanne Reames Jan 1999

An Atypical Affair? Alexander The Great, Hephaistion Amyntoros And The Nature Of Their Relationship, Jeanne Reames

History Faculty Publications

Most recent Alexander historians - especially those writing after Stonewall - assume that the friendship of Alexander the Great and Hephaistion Amyntoros was not purely platonic.2 Despite this, the names of Alexander and Hephaistion rarely find their way into modem lists of ancient lovers, nor are they much mentioned in studies of Greek homoeroticism3 - perhaps because they fail to fit the model first detailed by K.J. Dover in 1978. This dichotomy is a curiosity of recent specialization in classics. Alexander historians assume the affair while historians of Greek sexuality ignore it. In any case, the matter of …


The Textual Relation Of The Peshitta Of Ezekiel 1-12 To Mt And To The Ancient Versions (Tg-J And Lxx), Joaquim Azevedo Jan 1999

The Textual Relation Of The Peshitta Of Ezekiel 1-12 To Mt And To The Ancient Versions (Tg-J And Lxx), Joaquim Azevedo

Dissertations

Problem . The dilemma of the Syriac version is its mysterious provenance and the direct relationship it may have to the other versions (particularly G [Septuagint] and CJ [Targum Jonathan]). Thus some scholars have automatically discarded or ignored the Peshitta version as a useful tool (as a textual witness) for the study of the Hebrew text. The knowledge of textual problems, in this case the relationship of S [Peshitta Version] to the ancient versions, is of extreme importance in the analysis and study of the Hebrew Bible. The awareness of G [Septuagint], CJ [Targum Jonathan], and M [Masoretic …

Review Of: Esther: A Commentary, By Jon D. Levenson, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 1999

Review Of: Esther: A Commentary, By Jon D. Levenson, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Jon Levenson's new commentary on the book of Esther is an excellent addition to the Old Testament Library series. Highly erudite yet accessible, this commentary belongs on the shelves of students, clergy, and professional scholars as well as the serious layperson. Levenson's commentary should become one of the "must-haves" in the field of Esther scholarship, and I highly recommend it.


The "Rewritten" Bible At Qumran: A Look At Three Texts, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 1999

The "Rewritten" Bible At Qumran: A Look At Three Texts, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Since the discovery of the Qumran scrolls in the late 1940s and 1950s, certain manuscripts of the collection have been described by the term “Rewritten Bible." This grouping has been rather loosely defined, but the criteria for membership in this category include a close attachment, either through narrative or themes, to some book contained in the present Jewish canon of Scripture, and some type of reworking, whether through rearrangement, conflation, or supplementation, of the present canonical biblical text. Thus, works such as Pseudo-Ezekiel or Pseudo-Daniel would be excluded from the category, since, although thematically related to a biblical text (Ezekiel, …


Review Of Moses: A Life By Jonathan Kirsch, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 1999

Review Of Moses: A Life By Jonathan Kirsch, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Meek and arrogant, mild and unrelentingly harsh, merciful and cruel—Moses is one of the most difficult characters in the Bible. But Jonathan Kirsch, in this readable and well-researched account of Moses the lawgiver, does not shy away from those contradictions; instead, he emphasizes them. In so doing, Kirsch, a book columnist for the Los Angeles Times and also a lawyer, has made accessible one of the great figures of the Bible.


Review Of The Jewish People In Classical Antiquity: From Alexander To Bar Kochba By John Hayes & Sara Mandell, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 1999

Review Of The Jewish People In Classical Antiquity: From Alexander To Bar Kochba By John Hayes & Sara Mandell, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

In the last 50 years, our knowledge of the “classical” period in Judea has been growing by leaps and bounds. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other archaeological treasures has provided fresh insight into this era of Greek and Roman domination. As a companion volume to A History of Ancient Israel by John Hayes and J. Maxwell Miller (Philadelphia/London: Westminster/SCM, 1986), this book begins where the former volume left off, with Alexander the Great’s conquest of the ancient Near East in 333/332 B.C.E. It concludes two hundred years later with the Jewish defeat in the Second Revolt against …


The Fluid Bible: The Blurry Line Between Biblical And Nonbiblical Texts, Sidnie White Crawford Jan 1999

The Fluid Bible: The Blurry Line Between Biblical And Nonbiblical Texts, Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

When the Dead Sea Scrolls were written, no canonical Bible existed. That is, in the two or three centuries before the Roman destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., there was no one list of sacred books that was considered authoritative. At the same time, there was no clear border between biblical books and nonbiblical books. Rather, different groups of Jews considered different books authoritative, even though all Jews accepted the Torah, or Pentateuch—that is, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The Torah was, after all, the source of the Law, which provided the underpinning of Jewish ritual and daily …


Roberto Busa, S.J., And The Invention Of The Machine-Generated Concordance, Thomas Nelson Winter Jan 1999

Roberto Busa, S.J., And The Invention Of The Machine-Generated Concordance, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

This is a story from early in the technological revolution, when the application was out searching for the hardware, from a time before the Internet, a time before the PC, before the chip, before the mainframe. From a time even before programming itself.

Tasman's 1957 prophecy was no shot in the dark. His view of the future was a projection from his recent past. Thomas J. Watson, Sr. had assigned him in 1949 to be IBM liaison and support person for a young Jesuit's daring project to produce an index to the complete writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. First, Tasman's …


Odysseus And The Phaeacians, Corinne Ondine Pache Jan 1999

Odysseus And The Phaeacians, Corinne Ondine Pache

Classical Studies Faculty Research

Two unique events occur in Book 11 of the Odyssey as Odysseus tells the Phaeacians about his visit to Hades: first, Odysseus includes a story known as the "catalogue of women" that seems to have nothing to do with himself and his own adventures or with anybody else in the Odyssey; second, there is an interruption, known as the "intermezzo," in Odysseus' story, and a conversation takes place among Odysseus, Arete, and Alkinoos before the narrative is resumed. These two occurrences have much to say about the interaction between Odysseus and the Phaeacians, and also about the interaction between …
