ENDNOTES1. Josef Pieper, Only the Lover Sings: Art and Contemplation (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1990), 23. 2. See Aristotle, Metaphysics 1. 2, 983a5. 3. Pieper, Only the Lover Sings, 72. 4. The quotation from Anaxagoras (also cited by Pieper) is from Diogenes Laertius, 2. 10–12. 5. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Phenomenon of Man (New York: Harper & Row, 1959), 73. 6. Therese Schroeder-Sheker, Transitus: A Blessed Death in the Modern World (Missoula, Mont.: St. Dunstan's Press, 2001), 24–25. 7. Indra McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor: An Essay on Architectural Beginnings (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1993), 20ff. 8. McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 21. 9. See McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 21. 10. See Martin Heidegger, "Science and Reflection, " in The Question Concerning Technology, trans. William Lovitt (New York: Harper and Row, 1977), 163–64. 11. It is worth noting here that ancient sources often use theoros to refer to a person who travels to consult an oracle (see McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 21, and, e. g., Theognis, Elegies, 805). Oracular sayings are not simply informative. They are revelatory, but also notoriously obscure. The illumination they provide is inseparable from the wonder to which they give rise. 12. McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 21. 13. Republic 327a reads: Kateben chthes eis Peiraia ... hama ten heorten boulomenos theasasthai. 14. Republic, 475e. See S. Sara Monoson's helpful study, Plato's Democratic Entanglements: Athenian Politics and the Practice of Philosophy (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000), esp. chs. 4 and 8, in which she examines the use of spectatorial imagery in the Republic, as well as the participatory character of spectating in the Ancient Greek theater. 15. McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 21. 16. McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 127. 17. See Heidegger, "The Question Concerning Technology, " 5–14, and McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 41 125. 18. McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 47. 19. McEwen, Socrates' Ancestor, 41–42. |
