The book will kill the building.” With these stark words Victor Hugo predicted the outcome of the revolution in information technology set in motion by Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press. What he meant was that the printed word would replace architecture as the primary mode of human expression, that “the book of stone, so solid and so durable” would make way for “the book of paper, more solid and more durable still” (Notre-Dame de Paris, pt. v, 2). Writing several centuries after Gutenberg, on the eve of a building boom that would define the face of Paris up to the present day, Hugo must have known that he was overstating his point. Not only do buildings still serve as focal points of cultural selfdefinition, many if not most great works of art draw their power from a combination of different modes of expression. Far from being mutually exclusive, then, monumental architecture and the printed word can be combined to magnificent effect. Alice Oswald’s Memorial is a case in point. In order to explore the poem’s dual nature as a book of paper and a book of stone, it is helpful to view several of its defining characteristics in the context of various physical war monuments, both ancient and modern. Thus this essay is intended as a contribution to the study of war and memory, which of late has given rise to a surge of scholarly publications in the field of Classics and beyond.1 Memorial is a continuous poem without any punctuation that can be divided into three parts: Part A (pages 1–8) consists","PeriodicalId":147483,"journal":{"name":"Arion: A Journal of the Humanities and the Classics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127939974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Did Williams Do Ethics? 威廉姆斯做伦理学了吗?

He did not, of course, mean by that that there was nothing in traditional forms of ethical thinking (or nothing in traditional moral injunctions) that was of any substance or of any use or significance for human life. He did, however, think that the traditional notion of “ethics,” namely as an autonomous, knowledge-based, reflective, discursive doctrine which could give completely general and rationally persuasive answers to the question, “How should one live?” was unsalvageable. What, then, should replace ethics? Well, first of all, perhaps nothing will or should replace it. Instead of a single hegemonic discipline, which gave us answers or the framework for finding answers to the question how one should one live, there will just be a variety of different things. Perhaps human life is characterized by a welter of different goods that form no cognizable unity; perhaps the very idea of a single, or a single dominant, notion of “normativity” just is a mistake. After all, the very term “normativity” is a recent invention— it has no entry in the 1933 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary and its currency as a technical term in philosophy can scarcely date back to a period earlier than the 1980s. The fact / value or “is”/ “ought” distinction is older than that, and the adjective “normative” has sporadic earlier uses, but the idea that there was a single “thing” or phenomenon that could be designated by the single term “normativity” may be thought to represent not a mere verbal quirk, but a not-insignificant step in giving the discussion of substantive issues a particular turn or slant or structure.","PeriodicalId":147483,"journal":{"name":"Arion: A Journal of the Humanities and the Classics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132924044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
