- 581: Life Of Raphael Sanzio
- ... Michelangelo was busy painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Raphael started the stanze walls around 1508 and didn’t finish until 1511. Raphael had painted the walls to celebrate the four aspects of human accomplishment: theology, philosophy, arts, and law. To represent theology, was the "Disputation of the Sacrament". To represent philosophy was the famous "School of Athens", in which Raphael paints Michelangelo and himself in amongst the philosophers. To represent the arts was "Parnassus" and finally to represent law was "Cardinal Virtues". When fused together, these ...
- 582: Hermes Carrying The Infant Dionysos
- ... very important, just as a way to dominate others. Now at the start of the fourth century, people were living for themselves and no longer for the state. This change brought forth the growth of philosophy and individualism. This greatly effected the development of art. Political events such as the Peoponnesian War caused sculpture of the fourth century to be much different. Art was now more intimate and personal due to ... a big change because figures seemed to move more naturally. There was a newfound realization that one part of the human body couldn’t move without affecting other parts of the body. The growth of philosophy brought forth this realization, and physicians now had the knowledge and understanding of muscular systems. Once they shared this knowledge in terms of mechanics, the sculptors began to experiment with the human body in motion ...
- 583: Jazz Movement In The 1960s
- ... and "3rd Stream" periods, all the way through to the major innovators of the period. Also included in my discussion will be the social and political changes facing the nation in the 1960's, the philosophy that the avant-garde movement was based on, and the ways that musicians tested fellow musicians on the "validity" of this "free jazz" period. In the 1960's the country saw a sweeping change in ... Jazz also found its way into the film industry. Jazz provided background music and also provided the basic theme for a series of feature films (Feather 51)." Avant-garde jazz is based on a certain philosophy, that the music was duplicating and reflecting the American society (Dr. Davis, lecture). From my personal experience with avant-garde jazz, you never hear the melody, only clashing harmonies. The music sounds very brassy and ...
- 584: Greek Mythology And Religion
- ... being too prosperous, provoked divine displeasure and brought upon themselves Nemesis, the personification of revengeful justice. The saying of the historian Herodotus, "The god suffers none but himself to be proud" sums up the main philosophy that influences all of classical Greek literature. The sense of human limitation was a basic feature of Greek religion; the gods, the sole source of the good or evil that fell upon mortals, were approached ... since the original inhabitants of those lands were conquered by Indo-European invaders. The basic elements of classical Greek religion were, in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, somewhat modified and supplemented by the influences of philosophy, Middle Eastern cults, and changes in popular belief (as shown, for instance, in the rise of the cult of Fortune, or Tyche). The main outlines of the official religion, however, remained unchanged. Bibliography 1. Ancient ...
- 585: Movie: Dead Poet's Society - The Dead Poet That Killed Himself
- ... Killed Himself The movie Dead Poet's Society raises an interesting question: When educating teen-agers, is it better to use the school's policy of Tradition, Honor, Discipline, and Excellence or Mr. Keating's philosophy of carpe diam (seize the day)? Mr. Keating believed that people should "suck the marrow out of life" and live like a free thinking person even at the young age of seventeen. Centuries of teaching ... a students life is that of education. That, after all, is why they are in school. To learn and no other reason. In the end, it should be noted that although Mr. Keating's teaching philosophy was debunked, he made one good point. Neil should have spoken to his parents. Neil's case is a perfect example of a mind not ready for independent thought. A mind without discipline. His parents ...
- 586: Powder
- ... view what Powder says with more credibility because he has the use of more of his brain than they do. This is a very powerful way for the writer to communicate theme, by developing a philosophy in an attempt to affect the audience, and having powder embody that philosophy so that people will see him as some sort of role model. In general, this idea could work, but the writer of this particular film obviuosly missed the boat here. Instead of the independence imbodied ...
- 587: A Brief History Of The Blues
- ... generation listeners to the blues. There are a number of different ideas as to what the blues really are: a scale structure, a note out of tune or out of key, a chord structure; a philosophy? The blues is a form of Afro-American origin in which a modal melody has been harmonized with Western tonal chords. (Salzman 18) In other words, we had to fit it into our musical system ... tones respectively [minor second intervals]). Others feel that the song form (twelve bars, one-four-five) is the defining feature of the blues. Some feel that the blues is a way to approach music, a philosophy, in a manner of speaking. And still others hold a much wider sociological view that the blues are an entire musical tradition rooted in the black experience of the post-war South. Whatever one may ...
- 588: Anselm's Definition of God
- ... get a better understanding of Anselm's theories, I believe the wording needs to be tightened up. When that is done, it brings out many contradicting statements within his theory. In which case, Anselm's philosophy tends to lose much of its credibility. An example of one of these contradictions is when Anselm says "a being existing in reality is greater than to exist only in the understanding. Now if another ... God is a forgiving being, while another may believe that God punishes beings for doing wrong. By Anselm's definition, God can't have both attributes. A final problem that I have with Anselm's philosophy is that he believes that if you can imagine something existing then it defiantly does exist. In the book Anselm's critics state "that someone who does not know the meaning of the word, who ...
