Ernst Cassirer: Language & Myth (1946)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Philosophers are always asking themselves
questions. What a philosopher is trying to do,
is figure out the way in which people understand
the world, or their sense and place of reality in
the world. The German philosopher, Ernst Cassirer
(1874- 1945) felt that we use mentally created
symbols to understand our current reality. It was
Cassirer's idea that scientific laws, theories of
religion and the unique qualities of a given
language were all symbols, which we as humans
create to facilitate understanding the world.
The logic of understanding then is to give some
sense of order in the chaos of the world that we
face on a daily basis.

Fairy Tales: Now and Always
[ send me this paper ]
(10pp) Since the time that someone rubbed two
sticks togetherto make fire, people have loved a
good story. It may loosely be called a legend, a
story, or a tale, Joseph Campbell links most of
them together with a thematic approach called the
"hero's adventure." We will test some current
fairy tales ("The Princess Who Stood on Her Own
Two Feet," Jeanne Desy; "Prince Amilec" Tanith
Lee; and "Petronella" by Jay Williams) to see how
they fit the traditional model. Bibliography
lists 2 sources.

Here Be Dragons!
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) No single continent or culture has an
exclusive claim on dragons or dragon lore. The
animals have survived in time and imagination.
Just as an adventurer might claim land for his
sovereign, a wise traveler would also know when
dragons would be about, and then, even whisper to
himself, "here be-- dragons." This discussion will
allow the reader to learn of these marvelous
creatures, so he too can learn to recognize them,
and the places where they live.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
