Havelock eric (74 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Plato's frontal attack on poetry has always been a problem for sympathetic students, who have often minimized or avoided it. Beginning with the premise that the attack must be taken seriously, Mr. Havelock shows that Plato's hostility is explained by the continued domination of the poetic tradition in contemporary Greek thought. The reason for the dominance of this tradition was technological. In a nonliterate culture, stored experience necessary to cultural stability had to be preserved as poetry in order to be memorized. Plato attacks poets, particularly Homer, as the sole source of Greek moral and technical instruction--Mr. Havelock shows how the Illiad acted as an oral encyclopedia. Under the label of mimesis, Plato condemns the poetic process of emotional identification and the necessity of presenting content as a series of specific images in a continued narrative. The second part of the book discusses the Platonic Forms as an aspect of an increasingly rational culture. Literate Greece demanded, instead of poetic discourse, a vocabulary and a sentence structure both abstract and explicit in which experience could be described normatively and analytically: in short a language of ethics and science.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. One of the most original and penetrating thinkers in Greek studies describes the transformation from oral cultureto literacy in classical times and reflects upon its continued meaning for us today. Fresh insights into the orality-literacy shift in human consciousness from one who has long been studying this shift in ancient Greece and has now brought his vast learning and reflections to bear on our own times. This book is for a wide audience and calls for thoroughly rethinking current views on language, thought, and society from classical scholarship through modern philosophy, anthropology, and poststructuralism.Walter J. Ong All in all, we have in this book the summary statement of one of the great pioneers in the study of oral and literate culture, fascinating in its scope and rewarding in its sophistication. As have his other works, this book will contribute mightily to curing the biases resulting from our own literacy.J. Peter Denny, Canadian Journal of Linguistics An extremely useful summary and extension of the revisionist thinking of Eric Havelock, whom most classicists and comparatists would rank among the premier classical scholars of the last three decades. . . . The book presents important (though controversial) ideas in. . . an available format.Choice. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Zustand: Nuevo. ¿Por qué era Platón enemigo de los poetas? ¿Qué entendía por imitación y por qué le resultaba tan temible? En estos y otros muchos temas inaugurales de nuestra historia, Havelock vio el colosal enfrentamiento de una cultura de tradición oral y de otra que la escritura empezaba a hacer posible. Hoy nuevas técnicas para transmitir la información nos obligan a examinar el modo como categorizamos el mundo. Tanto por saber de dónde venimos como para atisbar adónde vamos, debemos sin falta examinar las cuestiones planteadas en este libro, que conserva una incitante frescura.…
