Til We have Faces: Jeff the God (Goeff)

     Welcome Orual. I have been expecting you for some time now. You do not know me but I know you. I saw your first steps as a child. I remember your first laugh. I remember when you cried for the first time. I was watching when you first knew love, and I was there when you felt you first experienced heartache. I watched that night when you decided that you were the only one who you could rely on. I watched as that self reliance and hurt turned into bitterness and self-pity. As you began to harden your heart you grew colder to the world around you, even the sister you claimed to love, a word of which you can no longer understand the depth. I saw it all. All your trials, and all your triumphs. I watched as you blamed to world for the loneliness you felt in your heart. I know you were hurting. I know the depth of your suffering well Orual. But I also know the depth of the suffering you inflicted on those around you, none more than your sister. The Council of God's have sent me because I have watched you grow as your destiny intrigues me before you were born. They also have chosen me for my love of mercy, but furthermore because of my love of Justice for the hurt. While I know the depth of your anguish, I cannot ignore your crimes. You chose to isolate your heart in life and through that caused suffering in the life of those you claimed to love. Your punishment will be likewise: banished into the void for 2,000 years. There you shall understand true isolation. Goodbye, Orual.

Heidegger (I Guess)

In "The Origin of the Work of Art," Martin Heidegger characterizes the essence of art as work which contributes to the unconcealment ( aletheia ) of reality, i.e. the literal (or perhaps literary, given his emphasis on poetry) construction of truth. This philosophy/ontology seems quite compatible with Lewis's bit in "Myth Became Fact," wherein he describes myth as reality. Heidegger describes unconcealing as the existential project of the Dasein, i.e. the human being, and artistic manifestation of the aesthetic impulse is a prime way of doing this: realizing and bringing-forth qualities of Being, facilitating the dialectical relationship between world and earth. Poetry is a privileged art form for Heidegger, given the profound intertwining of language with the human condition (the Dasein ). "Language is the house of the truth of Being," says Heidegger. Thus, Lewis's proclamation that myth, i.e. narrative, i.e. a particular manifestation of poetic a...

The Liberal Arts Experience

When I was applying for colleges, I was for more concerned about getting accepted to any  school rather than any particular kind of college. So when it fell to a choice between CNU and Radford after my other 5 choices rejected me outright, it was an easy choice. But that choice was really between two liberal arts institutions. I always thought of those liberal arts classes as some sort of natural phenomena. Most people don't question why the sun has the appearance of rising every day, it's just a part of their lives. Something they accept and live with. So it was also with the fulfillment of my liberal learning classes. I didn't choose them any more than I chose to go to CNU. And with an attitude like that, I can't help but wonder if I was putting in enough effort to get any qualitative experiences out of them. An old English teacher of mine once said that we'll become real scholars when we start taking charge of our own education, and that idea has sort of stuck wi...

Inklings About Inklings

It seems quite strange to be reading a more autobiographical work about Lewis after spending all this last semester studying his fiction. Being empirically minded it feels like I've done things in reverse - perhaps I should have known the man before I came to know his myth. A poet might say they're one and the same, and perhaps so, but understanding the man can make the myth deeper. Of course, having thought about that concept for one moment longer, it can probably go both ways. I just recalled a band, as well as a series of t.v. shows that were made worse for me by having a greater understanding of the people behind them. So it may be just as well. Regardless, I was interested to learn that Lewis had an early fascination with Norse fiction, and was an avid reader his whole life. Many of his professors would go on to remark that they had never met a man more well-read in the classics. Also I found it quite interesting that after getting a degree in Philosophy, he could not find...
