Quest for Self-Knowledge - Joseph Flanagan - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Quest for Self-Knowledge - Joseph Flanagan - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

The theme of self-knowledge, introduced by classical philosophers, was taken up and extended by Bernard Lonergan in his major work, Insight . In this innovative and complex study, Lonergan developed a systematic method for understanding the development of self-knowledge. Joseph Flanagan shares with Lonergan the premise that the problem of self-knowledge can be resolved methodically. The purpose of this book is to introduce teachers and students to this difficult subject and to provide readers with a transcultural, normative foundation for a critical evaluation of self-identity and cultural identity. Flanagan elucidates the complicated historical context in reference to the emergence of Lonergan''s positions; in particular he relates Lonergan''s thought to the development of modern science. He then retraces the main arguments of Insight as they relate to the theme of self-knowledge, and invites readers to discover and verify within their own conscious experiences a foundational identity that they share with all knowers in an ever-expanding search for truth. This method of self-appropriation not only reveals a new philosophical method, but also transforms the traditional science of metaphysics by subsuming it into a richer and more comprehensive ethical context. Quest for Self-Knowledge establishes new ground for philosophical and religious dialogue and demonstrates how Lonergan''s philosophy provides a context that complements and enriches the analytic and phenomenological approaches that dominate Western schools of philosophy.

The Complete Poems of Michelangelo - Michelangelo Buonarroti - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

The Complete Poems of Michelangelo - Michelangelo Buonarroti - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Though known primarily as a sculptor and painter, Michelangelo was also a poet. In his lifetime, Michelangelo wrote over 300 poems, many of which were works of devotion and love poems of a spiritual and mystical nature. In 1961, Joseph Tusiani offered the first English translations of the complete corpus of Michelangelo’s poems. These translations illuminated the subtleties of both the source and target language, giving Michelangelo’s verse a freshness, a depth, and an inventiveness that time has not been able to obscure. The Complete Poems of Michelangelo reproduces Tusiani’s masterful translation. In addition to Tusiani’s introduction and translations, this new edition contains Michelangelo’s original Italian poetry, a chronology of his life and works, a biographical profile of Tusiani, and an interview with Tusiani exploring his musings on classic literature and the subtle art of translation. The Complete Poems of Michelangelo sheds light on Tusiani’s many exceptional accomplishments during his long and prolific life as a scholar, poet, translator, and artist.

Northrop Frye and the Phenomenology of Myth - Glen Robert Gill - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Northrop Frye and the Phenomenology of Myth - Glen Robert Gill - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

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 collective unconscious emerges as similarly problematic. Likewise, Gill argues, Campbell''s work, while incorporating some phenomenological progressions, settles on a questionable metaphysical foundation. Gill shows how, in contrast to these other mythologists, Frye''s theory of myth – first articulated in Fearful Symmetry (1947) and culminating in Words with Power (1990) – is genuinely phenomenological. With excursions into fields such as literary theory, depth psychology, theology, and anthropology, Northrop Frye and the Phenomenology of Myth is essential to the understanding of Frye''s important mythological work.

Print Culture and the Blackwood Tradition - - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

Print Culture and the Blackwood Tradition - - Bog - University of Toronto Press - Plusbog.dk

In late 1804, William Blackwood established a small publishing and bookselling firm in Edinburgh. Over the next 175 years, William Blackwood & Sons became one of the leading publishers in Britain, enjoying both local and international success. Early on it championed the works of Scottish writers, and later gained acclaim as the publisher of G.W. Steevens, George Eliot, Charles Whibley, and Joseph Conrad. Its political influence was also widespread; in 1817 it founded the monthly Blackwood''s Magazine , which featured literary, critical, political, and journalistic commentary and analysis, and was a powerful force in British conservative politics. Two hundred years after the founding of this significant influence on British literary, political, and social history, this collection of essays reappraises the place of the Blackwood firm and its magazine in literary and print culture history. Editor David Finkelstein brings together an array of eminent scholars and critics from the US, Canada, Scandinavia, and the UK to examine Blackwoods from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. The resulting collection covers an impressive range of subject areas, including Romantic and Victorian literature, print culture, media history, and New Journalism.
