  • Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael - Horrifying

    Among the people of your culture, which want to destroy the world? Which want to destroy it? As far as I know, no one specifically wants to destroy the world. And yet you do destroy it, each of you. Each of you contribute daily to the destruction of the world.  This truth was stated by a gorilla named Ishmael who, through his experiences of being taken from the jungle, placed in a zoo in the 1930's, put in a menagerie, and bought by a private owner named Mr. Sokolow, had all the time in a world to think about the world around him. Daniel Quinn writes about the horrifying realities of our culture in a book called Ishmael, by stepping outside of the world as we know it and describing what he sees through a talking gorilla. Behind the bars of his cage, he was able to take a look at our culture as an outsider, to see things that we never could. This sagacious, passive, and extremely patient primate wanted to share this knowledge to others so as to stop man from destroying the world. So, he placed an ad in the paper and caught the attention of an eager student, the narrator, who was willing to save the world.

  • The Message of Quinn's Ishmael

    968 Words  | 2 Pages

    Quinn gains a unique perspective on humanity through the main character of the novel, Ishmael. Ishmael is a gorilla. And Ishmael is a teacher who communicates with humans telepathically. On the surface, this hardly seems to be a character who would appear in a serious book; more likely a children's story, a fable, or perhaps a bad science fiction novel. Yet Ishmael is none of these, and Ishmael is a strong character, with a powerful intellect and a serious purpose. The character of Ishmael needs to be non-human in order to be effective. Looking in on civilization from the outside gives him a perspective from which to criticize humanity without hypocrisy. To hear the oppressor repent is not nearly so effective as to hear the voice of the oppressed demand freedom and restitution.

    For Benjamin, the original, defined as that something is born out of nothing, is held in the highest esteem. Jean Baudrillard challenges this notion in his book Simulacra and Simulation. By counting backwards from the last copy to the purported ‘original’, Baudrillard finds no “mirror of being and appearances, of the real and its concept”. One simple example is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The painting is contributed by the following: portraits that were painted before it, the woman herself, breakthroughs in perspective that revolutionized art before the artist.

    ...t the human body during the renaissance. His sharp eye led him to discover unimaginable magic behind nature’s accomplishment of the human body and its proportion. Although he liked the idea of realism, he wanted to know the ideal proportion in detail to perfect the divine figures in his art. Leonardo believed that brain, heart, and lungs were “motors of the senses and of life,” (Heydenreich). His findings were never published because he believed his idea behind anatomy might give people wrong understanding of anatomy due to the fact that he didn’t consider himself a professional. I believe this shows a true work of a perfectionist because he knew the basic concept of anatomy, but didn’t know enough therefore didn’t publish his findings. Although not mention anywhere I believe his study of anatomy, and how he saw it as mechanical devices led him to study engineering.

  • Exploring the Concept of 'Self' in Modern Philosophy

    1140 Words  | 3 Pages

    Truth of oneself makes it visible when faced with absurd events in life where all ethical issues fade away. One cannot always pinpoint to a specific trait or what the core essence they discover, but it is often described as “finding one’s self”. In religious context, the essential self would be regarded as soul. Whereas, for some there is no such concept as self that exists since they believe that humans are just animals caught in the mechanistic world. However, modern philosophy sheds a positive light and tries to prove the existence of a self. Modern philosophers, Descartes and Hume in particular, draw upon the notion of the transcendental self, thinking self, and the empirical self, self of public life. Hume’s bundle theory serves as a distinction between these two notions here and even when both of these conception in their distinction make valid points, neither of them is more accurate.
