read more tempest aeternal revolution and restoration in the tempest friday november 29 2024 by joseph weissman leave a comment uncategorized introduction power art revolution the tempest is the island play of dispossession and grace power and wonder it has incited and inspired generations of artists and critics 1 and although many of its mysteries will be readily clarified in performance nevertheless many and very profound difficulties must remain we attempt here yet another navigation through the tempest in our earnest hope a new philosophical approach might yield new footholds yet we cannot be certain our efforts will yield success perhaps we will only uncover a few twangling instruments iii 2 rightly discarded we begin with some broad observations and clarify the interpretative framework let us hasten to agree the tempest is not a straightforwardly political work in any typical sense 2 yet it explores the intertwining histories of artistic practice and political domination and it uses its characters to dramatize the dynamic transformation of a humanity pulled together and broken apart by slave power and colonialism by rebellion and restoration it asserts both the dangers of complicity and of innocence in an era shaped by expropriation this whirlwind mirrors the world alonso wonders what harmony this is iii 3 it is a revolution the tempest stages with absolute clarity the all too innocent conflagration of a revolt yet this clarity is troubled by its central image the sea storm i 1 which asserts the cyclical nature of resistance and restoration if the tone recalls tropical warmth and skies spanish nocturnes in fact all parts of the world are present here wondrous and stolen we steal by line and level iv 1 yet the play s minor sources strachey s a true reportory of the wracke and montaigne s of the caniballes are used sparingly does this suggest the tempest has an original plot perhaps not although the manuscript was not available to him shakespeare may well have known of ayrer s the fair sidea by way of reports from circulating players 3 read more nathalie stutzmann s dynamic interpretation of mozart at the aso sunday november 10 2024 by joseph weissman leave a comment uncategorized conductor and contralto nathalie stutzmann photo daniele ratti the kyrie pleads for intercession lord have mercy christ have mercy the celebrant and chorus intone hovering at the cosmic horizon in a moving effect our penitence is inscribed one line at a time onto a partly unfolded projection screen looming high above the assembled musicians was the text of the latin mass but chilling wonders belong to the music of mozart s incomplete great mass in c as well conducted by the genius nathalie stutzmann the grandeur of the assembled orchestra is imposing a double chorus a gleaming forest of instruments no less than four soloists the whispers of an overawed saturday evening crowd die down into hushed shadow nathalie stutzmann music director of the atlanta symphony orchestra offers rapt and unruffled ruminations on youth masculinity love and death the austere welcome of the sacred music recalls the cold stoicism of the church yet her riveting and dynamic production and her intimate reading of mozart lit up the hall brilliantly guiding shifts in intensity stutzmann paces the order of the mass with a solemnity of tone that is hair raising stutzmann s most courageous instruments of evocation are the two young sopranos erika baikoff and julia lezhneva they summon iridescent waves of effortless oratorios melding rock star intensity with the fulgurating grace of a high priestess baikoff gently wavers between austerity and joy in the skies of her happiness and beyond all is set to work harmony the soloists delightfully embody and graciously extend this height articulating vibrantly positive joy and happiness amid the profound despair that inevitably accompanies terrible events and amid the suspicion that inevitably accompanies despair the mass affirms covenants and liberates bondage thus it frees the chorus and is also against it as with job a transactional and materialistic logic of righteousness is ruthlessly deconstructed does the duration of exalted emotional states make you noble the factions of the orchestra vie for prominence only to slowly dissolve into radiant well being and the night a sharp piercing call as of dueling muezzin ruptures the peace a nocturnal fugue evokes the desert a scimitar moon of lilting strings is glimpsed through fluted arches clad in damask ever brightening skies light up the abyss the soloists all rise as if to dance as though alongside exalted nobility time shades imperceptibly into fantastic wonder or is it pregnant silence the next centuries of music and life resound into the deeps the philosopher saturday november 11 2023 by joseph weissman leave a comment uncategorized in fact an ancient story has it that the gods delight in this business both as followers and spectators of the chase xenophon cynegetica the fox is a trap when the right moment comes the dead creature becomes more alive than the living but the skill of the fox lies in its ability to lie low crouching in the shadows this is how the author of the treatise on hunting sees it the most scheming aiolóboulos of wild animals it lives in its intelligence in the depths of an earth which is admirably laid out the dwelling that it digs itself has seven different entrances linked by as many corridors and the openings are situated a long way from each other thus it has less cause to fear that hunters laying a trap at its door will make it fall into their snares it is within this lair that it devises its plots the misleading enigmatic polymorphic earth of the

which gives point to everything else by encompassing it but which couldn t have or need any point itself is ambiguous as shown above it is incoherent to say or assume that the ultimate point within a

supratemporality and omnitemporality also the characteristics of time itself are they not characteristics of the living present which is the absolute concrete form of phenomenological temporality and the primordial absolute of all transcendental life traditionality is what circulates from one to the other logos and telos illuminating one by the other in a movement wherein consciousness discovers its path in an indefinite reduction always already begun and wherein every adventure is a change of direction conversion and every return to the origin an audacious move towards the horizon jacques derrida introduction to the origin of geometry xi i in a trilogy of dialogues thaetaetus sophist and statesman the latter two featuring the enigmatic eleatic stranger plato makes evocative use of the method of division to hunt the sophist and the statesman that is to seek an agreeable shared definition for them in the method of division this is done by way of a series of more and more subtle divisions of the field of human endeavor upon reaching the terminus the sequence of cuts is then collected together into a definition for instance among all arts the angler is one who acquires rather than produces among acquisitive arts he captures rather than exchanges among capturers he fishes rather than hunts and among fishers he fishes with a hook rather than a net despite several suggestions for a portrait of the philosopher to be drawn up by a similar division plato leaves this undone as though offering an exercise to his readers just like a philosophical image we are perhaps invited to complete the syllogism ourselves to move from passive formal definition to real determinate action to compose the likeness yet right away we run into trouble the philosopher is hard to see clearly sophist 254 discerning her form directly is blocked because the philosopher uses reason to stay near the form being she isn t at all easy to see because that area is so bright and the eyes of most people s souls can t bear to look at what s divine sophist 254b the philosopher is thus at least as difficult a quarry as the sophist who is hard to discern for an opposite reason the sophist is so difficult to distinguish because she dwells in darkness and disappears into the shadows of nonbeing the sophist runs off into the darkness of that which is not which she s had practice dealing with and she s hard to see because the place is so dark isn t that right it seems to be sophist 254 the philosopher is even challenged to differentiate herself from the sophist the final definition of the sophist notably and ironically represents socrates or is indistinguishable from him the expert in dialectic who proceeds by brief responses who uses short speeches to force the person talking with him to contradict himself sophist 268b contrary speech producing insincere and unknowing sort of the appearance making kind of copy making and the word juggling part of production that s marked off as human and not divine sophist 268d philosophical method aims to capture much more than a name now in this case you and i only have the name in common and maybe we ve each used it for a different thing sophist 218c we will learn nothing by names alone we must also divide the field of human endeavor together with care however we are not yet concerned with recognizing the philosopher anyway we re not concerned with the people we re looking for what s true sophist 246d philosophy seeks a truth beyond recognition it s truly unrecognizable now if i mistake theaetetus for theodorus i have simply made a student into a geometer but if i mistake gorgias or thrasymachus for socrates i m lost maybe we ve found the philosopher even though we were looking for the sophist sophist 253c read more new

taylor adkins 6 16 20 1 on philosophy as science s other to introduce philosophy to science rather than science into philosophy this task is already found to be posited with philosophy which is its realization it is therefore useless to posit it once again to be a science by becoming one is already the immanent telos of philosophical decision there is no metaphysics that does not wish to be the science of being or even the science of the logos and thereby the excellent form of every knowledge that it achieves and makes adequate to its essence there can no longer be a question of any of this once philosophy is supposed given on the one hand the scientific auto realization of philosophy supposes that philosophy by itself produces and manifests the concept of science that it consequently modifies the empirical concept of the sciences imposes on them a certain ideal of validation and foundation and that in a certain way it devalorizes and critiques the sense and truth of the real sciences this endeavor of philosophical appropriation and critique of the sciences calls itself their ontological interpretation or their ontological foundation the sciences would be a defective or deficient mode of the ontological project of objectivity or of the idea of science or their epistemological interpretation there would be a fact of the sciences that philosophy would reappropriate conversely science remains in the state of an infinite dream of an impossible dream deferred played out over and over again philosophy is not a science because it wants this will is essential to be one in philosophy the will penetrates more deeply than science it will therefore remain content with scientific form with becoming science with its infinite telos ...
