Jenkins and Barthes on Rereading
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses Roland Barthes's intriguing text S/Z, An Essay, which offers an intriguing and insightful view of precisely what occurs when someone "reads" a text, with the term "text" having a broader meaning that encompasses any communicated narrative, i.e., books, movies, TV, etc. Barthes's theory is contrasted with Textual Poachers, in which Henry Jenkins offers a reworking of Barthes's conceptualization of texts, specifically to the idea of the "writerly" text. While Jenkins is basically sympathetic of Barthes's theory, his interpretation of "reading" a text differs primarily in regards to how texts can be "reread." No additional sources cited.

Questions the innateness of language and the applicability of that innateness to the topic of our own creation and the existence of God. Compares language in animals and mankind and concludes there are definitive differences in the ability of the two to have meaningful conversations about such highly abstract concepts as God and His existence. It is the ability to translate our mental experiences into words which gives humans the capability of abstract thought and allows us to have meaningful philosophic conversation about God even though God transcends creation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Language's Applicability To Metaphysics
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing whether language is necessary in conjunction with metaphysics.

If it has no part in cause and effect, then it also can have no part in metaphysics.. This is a dispute in metaphysics, and so necessarily must result either in language being necessary or not. The paper concludes that language is necessary for judging validity of statements, but that a more important aspect is that of sound logic. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
