Matthew
Arnold: Views On Hebraism And Hellenism In Relation To
Western History
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. It can be argued that along with his
mentor Socrates, Matthew Arnold virtually set the stage
for effective perception of Hebraism and Hellenism. These
European cultures came to represent various depictions to
Arnold, whose own personal quest was to seek out the
inherent values of Hellenism, a concept that revolved
around reason, the pursuit of knowledge and the arts,
moderation, civic responsibility and bodily development.
Hebraism, on the other hand, stood for a moral theory or
emphasis that was attributed to the Hebrews. In his
interpretation of both cultures, Arnold considered them as
harboring a dual historical heritage. The writer discusses
Arnold's interpretation of Hebraism and Hellenism as they
relate to Western history. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Nathan
the Wise (1779)
[ send
me this paper ]
(5pp) Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was one of the major German
writers of the Enlightenment. Although the Enlightenment
was generally considered a period in which intellectuals
wrote for other intellectuals, Lessing's play of five acts
is easy to follow, largely because of its universal themes
of tolerance, brotherhood and reason. Although Lessing
liked to write controversial material to prompt people's
thoughts, he angered a cleric in Hamburg, who began a
violent and personal anti-Semitic attack upon Lessing to
make his literary point. This story is addressing the
cleric's lack of tolerance.

Rabbi
Soloveitchik's 'Halakhic Man' / Ethics and a Perspective
on Time
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the theological
philosophy of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik as discussed in
his book Halakhic Man. Soloveitchik's description of the
Halakhic man shows that the past and the future leave
their imprint on the ethically sensitive individual.
Conversely, the ethics of the individual also influence
that person's perception of time, giving him or her a
broader view that transcends the meaning of the given
moment. The writer argues that this philosophy can provide
a firm basis for making ethical decisions and uses the
persecution of the Jews during World War II as an example
of a real life situation that called for ethical
decisions. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
