Maneater Meditations by Geoffrey Grosshans Pdf

In Maneater Meditations: Selected Tales from the Stuffed Fabulist, dark satire and healing mirth come together in the form of contemporary fables, parables, and revisions of myth. A sheep rents a wolf suit, a bull opens a china shop, Icarus goes for a swim, a robot takes its pet human for a walk in the park as usual, a unicorn loses its horn trying to make a career change, an amoeba schedules an appointment with a psychotherapist, a chameleon finds it can change the color of anything it touches, a barnacle weighs the moral pros and cons of letting go, the phoenix considers having itself embalmed and being done forever with rising from the ashes, flamingos resolve to make social issues more stylish, Sisyphus is arrested as a public nuisance, topiary animals dare to take the shears to themselves when the gardeners aren’t looking, a scorpion experiences a moment of compassion, a rhinoceros notices it has a bruise, Church and State hook up at a singles bar, Jonathan Swift auditions for a stand-up comedy gig, the march of the pundits is documented on film, dots complain about all the attempts made to connect them, the Minotaur decides to take its labyrinth with it wherever it goes. These and many other short tales focus on psychological, social, political, spiritual, and philosophical themes, but the “moral” of each one is left to the reader to decide.

Machine, Metaphor, and the Writer by Bettina L. Knapp Pdf

The brilliant and far-reaching comparative and interdisciplinary work explores the impact of the machine on the literary mind and its ramifications. Knapp displays an unusual command of world literatures in dealing with a topic that is of outstanding importance to a broad field of scholars and generalists, including those concerned with contemporary literature, comparative literature, and Jungian theory. It is very much in line with the current trend toward interdisciplinary studies. Knapp offers powerful and original analyses of texts by French, Irish, Japanese, Israeli, German, Polish, and American authors: Alfred Jarry, James Joyce, Stanislaw I. Witkiewicz, Luigi Pirandello, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Juan Jose Arreola, S. Yizhar, Jiro Osaragi, N. K. Narayan, Peter Handke, and Sam Shepard. The authors explored here were deeply affected by the changes occurring in their lives and times and reacted to these ideationally and feelingly. In some of their writings, images, characters, and plots were used to create monstrous and robotlike individuals unable to accept the world around them and hence seeking to destroy it. Others of these writers attempted to understand and integrate the environmental, human, and mechanical alterations taking place about them, and to transform these into positive attributes. The realization of the increasing domination of the machine, we see, catalyzed and mobilized each author into action. Each in his own way spoke his mind, revealing the corrosive and beneficial factors in his world as he saw them.

The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot Pdf

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius are treasured today--as they have been over the centuries--as an inexhaustible source of wisdom. And as one of the three most important expressions of Stoicism, this is an essential text for everyone interested in ancient religion and philosophy. Yet the clarity and ease of the work's style are deceptive. Pierre Hadot, eminent historian of ancient thought, uncovers new levels of meaning and expands our understanding of its underlying philosophy. Written by the Roman emperor for his own private guidance and self-admonition, the Meditations set forth principles for living a good and just life. Hadot probes Marcus Aurelius's guidelines and convictions and discerns the hitherto unperceived conceptual system that grounds them. Abundantly quoting the Meditations to illustrate his analysis, the author allows Marcus Aurelius to speak directly to the reader. And Hadot unfolds for us the philosophical context of the Meditations, commenting on the philosophers Marcus Aurelius read and giving special attention to the teachings of Epictetus, whose disciple he was. The soul, the guiding principle within us, is in Marcus Aurelius's Stoic philosophy an inviolable stronghold of freedom, the "inner citadel." This spirited and engaging study of his thought offers a fresh picture of the fascinating philosopher-emperor, a fuller understanding of the tradition and doctrines of Stoicism, and rich insight on the culture of the Roman empire in the second century. Pierre Hadot has been working on Marcus Aurelius for more than twenty years; in this book he distills his analysis and conclusions with extraordinary lucidity for the general reader.
