Mythos and Logos: How to Regain the Love of WisdomAlbert A. Anderson, Steven V. Hicks, Lech Witkowski Rodopi, 2004 - 268 sivua This is a valuable book, jam-packed with learning and insight, cosmopolitan in scope, timely yet classically anchored. An achievement of intellectual beauty. This is how I like to see philosophy conducted. Robert Ginsberg Director, The International Center for the Arts, Humanities, and Value Inquiry. This book contains fifteen essays all seeking to regain the original meaning of philosophy as the love of wisdom. Mythos and Logos are two essential aspects of a quest that began with the ancient Greeks. As concepts fundamental to human experience, Mythos and Logos continue to guide the search for truth in the twenty-first century. |

Sivu 175 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Sivu 4 - My point is not that everything is bad, but that everything is dangerous, which is not exactly the same as bad. If everything is dangerous, then we always have something to do. So my position leads not to apathy but to a hyper- and pessimistic activism.
Sivu 66 - The sign is a voice which comes to me and always forbids me to do something which I am going to do, but never commands me to do anything, and this is what stands in the way of my being a politician.
Sivu 1 - Recent liberation movements suffer from the fact that they cannot find any principle on which to base the elaboration of a new ethics. They need an ethics, but they cannot find any other ethics than an ethics founded on so-called scientific knowledge of what the self is, what desire is, what the unconscious is and so on.
Sivu 208 - But we must not follow those who advise us, being men, to think of human things, and, being mortal, of mortal things, but must so far as we can make ourselves immortal, and strain every nerve to live in accordance with the best thing in us; for even if it be small in bulk much more does it in power and worth surpass everything.
Sivu 102 - As I think about this more carefully, I see plainly that there are never any sure signs by means of which being awake can be distinguished from being asleep.
Sivu 128 - But now science, stimulated by its powerful illusion, hastens irresistibly to its limits, on which its optimism, hidden in the essence of logic, is wrecked. For the periphery of the circle of science has an infinite number of points, and while there is still no telling how this circle can ever be completely measured, yet the noble and gifted man, even before the middle of his career, inevitably comes in contact with those extreme points of the periphery where he stares into the unfathomable.
Sivu 196 - To fear death, gentlemen, is no other than to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man, yet men fear it as if they knew b that it is the greatest of evils. And surely it is the most blameworthy ignorance to believe that one knows what one does not know.
Sivu 101 - But after I had spent some years pursuing these studies in the book of the world and trying to gain some experience, I resolved one day to undertake studies within myself too and to use all the powers of my mind in choosing the paths I should follow.
Sivu 87 - I mean that which the reason itself lays hold of by the power of dialectic, treating its assumptions not as absolute beginnings but literally as hypotheses, underpinnings, footings, and springboards so to speak, to enable it to rise to that which requires no assumption and is the starting point of all, and after attaining to that again taking hold of the first dependencies from it, so to proceed downward to the conclusion, making no use whatever of any object of sense but only of [5 lie] pure ideas...
