Ontological Independence In Aristotle's Categories, Phil Corkum Dec 2003

Ontological Independence In Aristotle's Categories, Phil Corkum

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Aristotle holds that substances (such as you and me) are ontologically independent from nonsubstances (such as our qualities and quantities) but nonsubstances are ontologically dependent on substances. There is then an asymmetry between substances and nonsubstances with respect to ontological dependence. Such asymmetry is widely and rightly thought to be a lynchpin of Aristotelian metaphysics. What is really real for Aristotle are such ordinary objects as you and me. Our properties - my paleness, your generosity - inhabit Aristotle's ontology only in so far as they are ours. This much we can all agree on; and I'll only briefly rehearse …


Metaphysics H 6 And The Problem Of Unity, Hye-Kyung Kim Dec 2003

Metaphysics H 6 And The Problem Of Unity, Hye-Kyung Kim

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

I argue that H 6 should be taken as Aristotle's clarification on the causelessness in the unity of the parts of definition. In H 6 Aristotle is concerned with a general metaphysical problem affecting - threatening - his theory of substance at two major points. The unity of genus and differentia in the definition of form has to be accounted for without appealing to a unifying cause. If it were not accounted for, form would not be the primary cause of being and thus not primary substance. The unity of the parts of the definition of composite substance also has …

John Milton, Blackfriars Spectator?: "Elegia Prima" And Ben Jonson's The Staple Of News, Timothy J. Burbery Nov 2003

John Milton, Blackfriars Spectator?: "Elegia Prima" And Ben Jonson's The Staple Of News, Timothy J. Burbery

English Faculty Research

In the spring of 1626 John Milton was temporarily expelled from Cambridge University, perhaps over a quarrel with his tutor William Chappell, and sent home to London, where he remained for at least several weeks. There, the seventeen-year-old poet composed his first elegy, a Latin verse-letter to his closest friend, Charles Diodati. In it, Milton claims to be enjoying his unexpected holiday by reading, girl watching, and attending the theater. Milton scholars have never reached consensus about his alleged playgoing, for while the young man speaks as a spectator, the plots and characters he mentions-these include comic types such as …


Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit Oct 2003

Was The Chronicler A Spin Doctor?: David In The Books Of Chronicles, Mark A. Throntveit

Faculty Publications

Yes, the Chronicler was a spin doctor—but a necessary one. He used the David story to address the needs of his postexilic community who questioned the value of God’s old promises to David in this new time of Persian domination, without a king, worshiping in a temple that was the mere shadow of Solomon’s glorious edifice.

Review Of Greek And Roman Actors: Aspects Of An Ancient Profession, Edited By Pat Easterling And Edith Hall., Anne Duncan Sep 2003

Review Of Greek And Roman Actors: Aspects Of An Ancient Profession, Edited By Pat Easterling And Edith Hall., Anne Duncan

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

This is an excellent collection of essays, and an important one for anyone interested in performance, theater history, literature, cultural studies, gender, and a host of other fields. Ancient actors, as real individuals who engaged professionally with literary texts, provide a point of interdisciplinary contact between literature and history, as well as novel avenues of approach into archaeology, epigraphy, rhetoric, philosophy, textual criticism, and other subfields of Classics. The twenty essays in this volume stretch from Classical Greece to the Byzantine era and beyond, and cover a wide range of evidence and methodologies. They are divided into three groups: The …


Guenevere's Conflict: Pagan Love Or Christian Ethics, Jacquelyn Sweeney Johnson Aug 2003

Guenevere's Conflict: Pagan Love Or Christian Ethics, Jacquelyn Sweeney Johnson

Theses & Honors Papers

This thesis examines the character of Guenevere in the broader, historical story of King Arthur. Analyzing newer, pagan, and feminist interpretations of her character as opposed to her original characterization in the Christian tale, it discusses the changes made in reinterpretation, especially as it relates to her relationship with Sir Lancelot.


The Influence Of Byzantium On The Slavs: Bulgaria And Kievan Rus, 512-1055, Michael A. Lushbaugh Aug 2003

The Influence Of Byzantium On The Slavs: Bulgaria And Kievan Rus, 512-1055, Michael A. Lushbaugh

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The development of Bulgaria and Ukraine can be traced to the middle ages. During this time period the migrant groups of Bulgars and Varangians settled into those regions and began to create homogenous states that still stand to this day. But the question remains, how did these two nomadic tribal groups pull together a state out of a patchwork of indigenous tribes and ethnic groups? The answer can be found in examining the role of another well established state in the Balkans, the empire of Byzantium. But just how far did the Byzantine Greeks go 1n influencing the development of …


Rolling Around: Paris By Night, Thomas Nelson Winter Jul 2003

Rolling Around: Paris By Night, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

Riddle: What’s the difference between Lincoln, Nebraska and Paris, France?

1 In Paris, you're can skate in the streets!
2 If you see police on rollerskates in Lincoln, you're dreaming!
3 The Louvre is in Paris, and the whole block north of it is an asphalt plaza open to skating every night of the summer.
4 In Paris every Friday night at 10, a river of skaters floods through a 20-25K course, leaving the occasional misplaced motorist cowering by the curb.

Agamemnon's Test Of The Army In Iliad Book 2 And The Function Of Homeric Akhos, Erwin F. Cook Jul 2003

Agamemnon's Test Of The Army In Iliad Book 2 And The Function Of Homeric Akhos, Erwin F. Cook

Classical Studies Faculty Research

I offer a reading of the Diapeira episode based on the semantics and thematics of akhos. My findings resolve a crux at 2.171, where Homer identifies akhos as the reason Odysseus is not launching his ship. Homer clearly signposts the nature of Odysseus' akhos as grief over loss of time in Athene's subsequent speech to him, but the reference is proleptic and has consequently eluded the commentators.

A Mathematical Commentary On Xenophon, Hellenika 2.1.25, 5.3.5 And Thucydides 3.2, Thomas Nelson Winter Jun 2003

A Mathematical Commentary On Xenophon, Hellenika 2.1.25, 5.3.5 And Thucydides 3.2, Thomas Nelson Winter

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

In Greek antiquity, gravity, actuated by archers on city walls, turned many a tide, as victorious besiegers routed a city's land forces, but in the excitement of pursuit, got too close to the city walls! Xenophon presents one such instance as but the most recent of many cases, in relating the death of Teleutias.

The bow, among the Greeks, was the principal weapon for the city besieged. The bow being so effective in this situation explains why the an early advance in ancient siege machinery was the movable tower. It is an anti-gravity machine! Its purpose was to zero out …
