What is writing? Why does one write? For whom? In this book Sartre examines the role of the writer in society with immense vigour and erudition.

A first challenge in reading world literature is that the very idea of literature has meant many different things over the centuries and around the world. At its most general, “literature” simply means “written with letters” – really, any text at all. If you go to see your doctor about a persistent cough and she says “I’ll pull up the latest literature on tuberculosis,” she means medical reports, not Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain. Even in more artistic contexts, many cultures have made no firm distinctions between imaginative literature and other forms of elevated writing. “Belles‐lettres” woul...

Formulation des principes qui permettent de distinguer la litterature de la non-litterature. Appliquant a la litterature les fonctions procedurale et linguistique de l'oeuvre d'art, l'A. definit la litterature a la lumiere des valeurs artistiques des XIX e et XX e siecles, c'est-a-dire en termes d'ecrit imaginatif et non pas en termes d'institution

Since from the birth of man, in one or the other way, he is connected to many elements of his surroundings, and he has been making a constant effort to express himself. The expressions might have been in many ways. Literature is also one such expression, contribution and product of him. Defining the word ‘Literature’ means a lot since it has taken birth out of man; the attempt of understanding ‘Literature’ is like a mother’s utmost care for her new born baby. Literature is an artistic expression of the best that is known and thought in world. It is a fine record of man’s ideas and ideals, aspi...

At first glance, the object is intriguing. The cover photograph shows an abandoned building on a beach, along the sea, perhaps a former resort, a waterfront restaurant on stilts. The rails of the outside staircases are rusty, as is the old pergola covering the deck on the building's roof. Along the blue sky, one reads the author's name in red and white letters, as well as the book’s title: Explore. Investigations littéraires (Explore. Literary Investigations). A strange cover for a work of literary criticism, written by a young specialist of medieval literature,1 a member of the French School ...

providential order; and that it is our duty, even when we cannot understand, to bow in humility and trust before the unsearchable will. And not least may we learn from the book and its context that if we are faithful to the light which we have it will shine to more and more; and that he who shows the fear of God in a life consecrated to the highest that he knows may hope in the end to find deliverance from all his bewilderment of mind and travail of soul.

C set under authority,’ and this gives a good sense. But Littmann points out that in unpointed Aramaic the participles are commonly distinguished, the active being written DKD and the passive DID. In my opinion the solution of the difficulty lies elsewhere, in the ambiguity of the Aramaic preposition nInn=lw6, Aramaic ninn, like Hebrew T1nl1 means both ‘ under’ and in place of.’ What the centurion said was, in effect, ’ I am the representative of the Government.’ .

Barth’s denial of the validity of the l1nalogia entis we may set the doctrine of created reality as a graded valuational field giving inevitably some revelation of the divine perfection. In this connexion he himself in this last work quotes his own earlier statement in Our Knowledge of God (p. ~45) 1 What is true in the doctrine of the analogia entis is that the knowledge of God does not precede our knowledge of man in time but is given &dquo; in, with, and under &dquo; such knowledge, and that therefore no one of God’s attributes is ever

’THE Library of Philosophy’ now forms a stately set of volumes, each of which is worthy of praise, and all of them tal;en together have become part of the necessary equipment of the serious student of philosophy. The editor is to be con~ratulated i on the success of the Library. We trust that the ; ¡ series will advance towards completion; and it might be well to increase the pace of publication, as many students are looking forward with impatient expectation to the publication of some of the volumes already promised. The volume on _Itfcll~lcJJl, by Professor Pillsbury, has the merit of being ...

buy a particular book. The reviewers have their defence. Nevertheless, there are times when they feel it right to respond to the invitation. Dr. R. Newton Flew’s Idea of Perfection in Christians Theology (Milford ; 15s. net) is unquestionably a book to get, if the reader is looking for a living study of a great religious and theological idea in a book which it is a liberal education to read, and which, at the same time, is rich in devotional profit and in suggestiveness for teaching and preaching. Dr. Flew is not satisfied with the view that the doctrine of Perfection is a ’ by-path in Christi...

mocked us by commanding an impossibility. The truth is, there is boundless hope to be gathered from observation of the normal child’s disposition, exhibiting as it does a most remarkable affinity with the three great departments into which we divide up what we call the Divine Revelation : namely, Goodness, Beauty, and Truth. We have fallen into a lamentable error by dissociating these three in education ; conceiving of art and scientific research as if they had no connexion with the source of all truth and of all beauty. Against this error we may now notice a reaction which,

of Israel lamented after the Lord ’ presents difficulties that have frequently been solved by rather drastic emendation, yet a comparison with Arabic suggests that the meaning is, followed after Yahweh ’.1 Ezekiel 26 is very often altered since the words for ’ briars and thorns ’ occur only here and their meaning is doubtful. The correct translation of the verse may be, ‘ And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words ; for praters and traitors are with thee and thou art sitting on scorpions 1.2 This approach is clearly preferable to that which assumed that the w...

IT is much to be hoped that the opening chapters of Structures for Renewal (Mowbrays, i96~ ; 2~s. 6d.), the style of which is a little heavy, will not put off the reader. His persistence will be well rewarded. The sub-title of the book, ’ A Search for the Renewal of the Church’s Mission to the World’, sums up its purpose admirably. The author is B. N. Y. Vaughan, Bishop of Honduras. The fact that he, though he began his ordained ministry in Wales, has spent most of it in the West Indies need not lead us to suppose that he does not know our difficulties and temptations in the old world. Far fro...

thinking. Even so innocent a verse as 3 41 is made to serve his purpose. ’ He (Jesus) will speak to the people in the cradle and as grown man.’ The Maulvi reads When of old age,’ which proves for him that Jesus did not die at the age of thirtythree, but lived to a sufficiently old age. The orthodox Muhammadan view has been that Jesus was not crucified, but another was substituted for Him at the time of the execution, and He was taken up alive to heaven. This is borne out by ~157 which says they did not kill him and did not crucify him, but he was counterfeited for them.’ The Maulvi however exp...

Old Testament, .e.~. Gn 2427. ~ The other words with which ‘chesed’ is most closely associated are words expressing justice and righteousness. 1,~le see this, for example, in Jer 9::!4, Hos 1012, Ps IOI1. The association of ’chesed’ with the Hebrew word for covenant is significant. In 1)t 71’ we have God spoken of in these terms, ‘ the faithful God who keepeth covenant and ’ chesed.’ &dquo; Other passages in which the two words are associated confirm the view that ‘chesed’ has a meaning in relation to keeping a covenant. Ps 892s may be I

I glance at the external act of Baptism (1022), but the pure water’ of Baptism washes ‘ the body,’ and seems to be merely symbolic of the cleansing of the heart. The Pauline doctrine of a dying and rising again in the rite is not asserted. In Hebrews, as in most of the New Testament Epistles, the Eucharist is probably not alluded to at all. Of course the ,breaking of bread ’ will have been familiar alike to the writer and to his readers, but it fulfils no distinctive function in the doctrinal structure. Even

a formal doctrine of identity-in-difference (indeed it does not present a formal doctrine of anything). But the book does incorporate a kind of synthesis between the earlier concept of Heaven (T’ien) as creator of the world and the concept of Tao as the underlying principle in the universe, to be followed by the sage. In fact the latter conception already merges two strands of thinking : i on the one hand

Simple but moving words on this subject, if the missionary societies lost half their present income, but became the agencies, is not the war a powerful amplifier of their appeal.

Literature The republication of Dindorf's Thendstii Orationes comes at an opportune moment. Themistius, like his contemporaries Libanius and Gregory of Nazianzus, has not attracted much attention from classical scholars in this country hitherto, but interest in the struggles and problems of the fourth century is surely growing. Not only did Themistius write extensively on many subjects, but he was a person of consequence, a friend of emperors and respected by the Christians despite his paganism. Later generations regarded him with suspicion: 'Fuit aulicus adulator et versipellis, vanus iactato...
