Abstract:

This study bears upon the ‘Heidegger case,’ that is, the relation of Heidegger’s philosophizing to his political involvements as Rector of the University of Freiburg 1933-4, and his subsequent silences on the subject of the Holocaust. I use the phrase ‘bears upon’ for Heidegger’s political involvement will serve as the ‘horizon’ for the study, my concern being the genesis of Heidegger’s position. Grounded in a musical ‘intuition’ and attunement, I take up the Nietzschean cipher for understanding proposed by Heidegger himself for the self-understanding of the German people: the Apollonian-Diony

Abstract:

In this research paper for the postgraduate degree of Master of Arts (Hons) (Visual Arts), the author is proposing to investigate the relationship of Nietzsche's division of culture into two principal strains, 'The Apollonian and the Dionysiac', and its application to the art of painting. When Nietzsche wrote the 'Birth of Tragedy' in 1872, from which his division of culture emerged, it was entitled 'The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music'. Young (1992), also describes music as 'The Dionysian art' in his book 'Nietzsche's Philosophy of Art'. With consideration to changes in art and perc

Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to examine how Donna Tartt’s The Secret History expresses the sublime experience and what its’ primary function is in the novel. The essay begins with discussing the concept of the sublime through a historical perspective, connecting primarily to Edmund Burke’s ideas and further contrasting them with the feminist criticism of Kristina Fjelkestam. A critical aspect of this study is to examine the notion of terror in the definitions of the sublime and to analyze how Tartt incorporates it into the story by introducing the theme “beauty is terror”, in the beginning of the

Abstract:

If I relate beauty to nothingness, what happens? Is nothingness sort of an absence of beauty? Or it is portrayed by our culture and society, and, in such case, can I define this absence of beauty? Is it beauty that you cannot even catch? Is its appearance neutral, almost hidden? When we are born, we all have the same degree of beauty and purity, which is progressively lost as long as we start growing up. In a life span, we accumulate wrinkles, and defects and dirt which needs to be concealed in order to fit in certain social categories. But our bodies register all the marks, absorb all the sig

Abstract:

This essay analyzes the theme of the pursuit of beauty in The Secret History. It analyzes the main characters’ concept of beauty, their manner of seeking beauty, as well as the result of this search. For this analysis, I use Friedrich Nietzsche’s theories of the Apollonian and the Dionysian as outlined in The Birth of Tragedy and in scholarly texts that analyze TBT— which describe the Apollonian/Dionysian dichotomy as the opposed worlds of order and madness— to define the main characters’ concept of beauty. The narrator of the novel once says that “beauty is terror” (Tartt 45), a statement whi

Mit der Behauptung, dass seine eigene Philosophie als »umgedrehter Platonismus« verstanden werden soll, stellt Nietzsche seine Beziehung zum platonischen System dar.

Das erste Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit einer Erläuterung des Begriffes „umgedrehter Platonismus“, womit die Differenz zwischen diesen beiden Systemen definiert wird. Diese Diskrepanz ist spürbar in vier verschiedene Bereichen: metaphysisch, axiologisch, gnoseologisch und ästhetisch. Das zwei

Abstract:

This thesis examines key concepts from philosophers Nishida Kitaro, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Fredriche Nietzsche and applies them to elements of Michael Chekhov’s practice of acting. The three philosophers, in different ways, suggest an ‘optimal’ state, beyond a dualistic separation of the fictive from the real and the visible from the invisible, that challenges seemingly unbridgeable dualisms between inner and outer, subject and object, being and becoming and experiencer and experienced. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and understand these selected ‘optimal’ modes of consciousness i

This study seeks to identify what role the under-considered issue of Apollonian and Dionysian concepts of art has on the stylistic choices of the various churches. I

The aim of this research is to examine the possible subjective, meaningful function of the seemingly objective artworks.

Abstract:

Anafora e deissi sono nozioni diffuse e di uso comune nell’odierna analisi linguistica. Tradizionalmente considerate e discusse in relazione una con l’altra, indicano il processo secondo cui un’unità linguistica è interpretata sulla base di un elemento, nel caso dell’anafora, già menzionato nel discorso, mentre invece, nel caso della deissi, presente nel contesto extra-linguistico. Tuttavia la definizione di tali termini non è univoca se si considera il fatto che essi descrivono strategie linguistiche diverse, collocate a livelli diversi di analisi: il livello morfo-sintattico, quello semantic
