Goethe's Hope
Lecture Description:
“What may I hope?” Immanuel Kant famously considered this question, alongside “What can I know?” and “What should I do?”, to be one of the three fundamental questions of philosophy. In this First Friday Lecture, Simon Friedland will consider how Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), reformulated and responded to the Kantian question of hope in his literary work. He will argue that Goethe searches for an alternative to the Christian notion of hope, turning to the myths of Greek antiquity to articulate an anthropological notion of hope as an irreducible dimension of the human being’s orientation in the world.
Speaker Bio:
Simon Friedland joined the Basic Program instructional staff in 2023. He received his Ph.D. in 2021 from the University of Chicago in German Studies, with a dissertation entitled, “The Pulse of Prosody: Versification and Antiquity in the Age of Weimar Classicism.” From 2021-23, Simon was a Humanities Teaching Fellow at UChicago. Simon is a graduate of Reed College. While a student, Simon spent one year in Berlin at the Freie Universität.

Wow. Such a great conversation. Looking forward to reading the book!
Get the folk etymology out of here! What a philological farce, very convenient for white folk! In his neglected book India In Greece the philologist Edward Pococke shows Amazons to be in fact Uma's-sons, or offspring. Several times mentions several tribes as "Iranian" when the Sakya, Kambojas, Kurus and etc were in fact dwelling in Afghanistan and India. The soma may in fact be 'sanna', cognate cannabis Good presentation otherwise, thnxs

Your video quality presentation is so amazing but do you know why your video is not getting the expected views? Your channel needs some updates to increase the view
Is she saying prousts name right???
Not just intellectual. Got to be physical growth as well. I would argue without the physical wellness, you cannot roar much louder. I took up different dance forms, ultra endurance biking, yoga. If we want to embrace our roaring self, the physical persona cannot be missing.
G it
there is a Huge difference btw Fukuyama-Huntington and Mearsheimer. what Fukuyama and Huntington did were mostly description of the world. they described and explained as they see the world. Mearsheimer , on the other hand, starts his logic with undeniable facts.
Fantastic presentation. Thank you Michael and U of C Graham School☘️
What is the cost of the Residential Seminar?
A better definition: a myth is a "lie" told in an attempt to describe the truth when there is an absence of verifiable evidence to assure said truth's veracity. "Tell all the truth but tell it slant Success in Circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth's superb surprise As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind -" - Dickinson
I do so agree with you in your comparison of Hugo and Tolstoy. Hugo is my favorite.
My favorite book by far. I will never forget it.
In my opinion AP and NPR are biased reporting.
Which news organization(s) do you trust?
has anyone made a comprehensive catalog of the dates of the sothic calendar and verified anchor dates, such as solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and defining the dates according to the sothic calendar, nevermind the objections of egyptologists, just a mechanical recording of all known written or inscribed events, festivals, astronomical sightings, names and reigning kings found on temples, monuments, walls, papyri, tablets, etc

Thank you for the question between Tolstoy, Hugo and Dickens. I had been curious how the three novelists influenced one another and how they wrote about the events and policies that affect every day people. Would it be fair to ask if Prince Albert was affected by at least Dickens writings as he too tried to do something to help the people just trying to live?
I am under educated. Thank you
i would love to take this course

All the wrong actors get cast for the wrong roles. Halleck was 'a great brute of a man's in Herberts' words, none of the actors cast in the role fit that description. Idaho was a medium sized man, dark skinned with dark hair, again, none of the actors cast, fit the description.paul is described as slight, small for his age, Timmothee looks like Chewbaccas' kid ...again, no match to the description. I could go on... But I am sure you know all the inaccuracies, just as I do.

What a fabulous session! Thanks.

Thanks for your time and presentation yesterday. This looks to be a promising program that I suspect will be used as a benchmark for other institutions to follow and result in work what will make a true difference in the world. Well done and thank you for the invitation.
For the Top to rule over people like Animals, you removed classics to sweep away virtue in the early grades. When people without virtue get paid well for doing almost nothing it is called tenure? So to keep the graft going they claim to find planets in other solar systems with out proof and the public is asked TO BELIEVE IN SCIENTISm.
You people are so funny, Fascism comes from the Christian God, Just look at His, Her, It's actions. Just look at the ethnic cleansing of the Midianites. The Christian god commanded Moses to kill...ALL.. except the virgin women who were split between the priests and Moses's waring solders

So proud of Susan. You are exactly who I knew and thought you to be. Congratulations
Lol, I hated Margaret Atwoods writing, and that explains it. Thanks
Congratulations Stephen great initiative !
I don't think that the presence of questions in the Iliad is evidence of their absence in prior storytelling. Many prehistoric narratives built to explain why a terrible flood, volcanic eruption, or plague occurred start with just such a question, "Why have the gods forsaken us?" Indeed they must since events like this are what drives everyday people, not professional storytellers, to construct a cosmic narrative to explain or give certainty or to provide an element of control over their lives. Their narrative may or may not have any predictive power, but it is a palliative nonetheless. I don't buy the perspective that prehistoric people are any less rational than we are. They ask the same questions when tragedy strikes, but with different knowledge and cultural contexts, they give different answers than we would, equally rational answers given their more limited knowledge and our limited knowledge of that knowledge.
Susan!! You are so terrific!! You will always be my inspiration 🙂
