Homepage Current Issue Past Issues The Invention of Secularity in Aristophanes Paul Epstein Oklahoma State University pde7229@okstate.edu The last two plays of Aristophanes show a world that for the first time in the development of Western civilization can reasonably be called secular. The secularity of Ecclesiazusae and Plutus lies in their presenting human individuality as containing in its activity the various aspects of the life of the polis, more thoroughly than the gods who presided over them. The gods do not thereby vanish but are revealed as having no true self in comparison with men. These plays complete the trajectory of his eleven plays, which began with five plays in which human subjectivity was not yet equalized with the divine life. In the plays of Aristophanes, equalization means that the human individual has as his sphere of activity the whole realm that the god presides over. Then in the sixth extant play, Birds, the human hero ‘overthrows’ even Zeus by experiencing more totally than even that great god the entire divine life, which is the effective rule of the Olympians over the Titanic gods. Three plays then follow in which human life is equalized with gods whose very existence consists in the communication of the life of the gods. Finally, in the last two plays the human subjectivity that the earlier plays had shown developing becomes itself the basis of human institutions and the gods themselves. In Ecclesiazusae no god is mentioned and it is humanity with its needs that defines the institutions of Family and State. The poet then posits Plutus as the chief god in the eponymous play, and this god has no other being than to encourage in humanity the private goods of virtue and wealth.

Homepage Current Issue Past Issues THE RECOVERY OF A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF GREEK TRAGEDY pde7229@okway.okstate.edu 1 An accurate view of Greek Tragedy is currently very much a desideratum. While in the poetical world of Tragedy, a human individuality is formed through the imitation of the gods by participation in the life of Family and State, contemporary views obscure this divine-human dialectic. Falling within the logic developed by Nietzsche in his Birth of Tragedy , they assume a human individuality complete in itself and make it the subject of the tragic action. [1] 2 At stake in the recovery of a comprehensive view of Greek Tragedy is not mere archaeological exactness, but a right understanding of our spiritual history, ancient and modern. Tragedy has played an essential role in the development of that Hellenic spirit which together with the Judaic has animated our Western and Christian civilization. Moreover, a profound enthusiasm for Greek Tragedy has captured the European imagination since the end of the eighteenth century, and a deeper interpretation than that of Nietzsche is necessary to make that enthusiasm comprehensible. 3 This article proposes, therefore, first to locate Tragedy in its general spiritual context, by presenting it as a further development of the spiritual world that the war between the Titans and Olympians has established. Second, it will argue that the Nietzschean view of tragedy does not respect the primacy of the Olympian gods in the formation of human individuality. Third, in a consideration of

by Paul R. Epstein Climate change and the biological responses to it are occurring at a rate unforeseen just several years ago. Worldwide, extreme weather events, compounded by long-term warming, are profoundly impacting public health, and the aftershocks of the events are rippling through economies. The flooding associated with Hurricane Mitch (Nov. 1998), for example, spawned a cluster of disease outbreaks (cholera, malaria and dengue fever) and caused over $5 billion in damages. If more frequent and intense extreme weather events continue to be a primary manifestation of climate change, harnessing climate data to better forecast future disease outbreaks can enable early warnings and motivate prevention. In general, climate constrains the range of infectious diseases, while weather affects the timing and intensity of outbreaks. Uncovering these associations is aided by increased understanding of the Earth's climate system, in particular how land and sea surface temperatures and pressure gradients drive winds and weather. The atmosphere holds 6% more water vapor with each 1 Understanding the evolution of weather anomalies will require integrating data from the ENSO with local SSTs and, eventually, with decadal-to-centennial cycles in climate variability and human influences. Changes in atmospheric chemistry may have so altered Earth's heat budget that natural climate modes such as ENSO have been modified. Studies suggest that the ocean is becoming warmer at intermediate depths and around both poles. If the world's oceans are a long-term heat sink for this century's global warming, then this has profound implications for marine life and terrestrial weather patterns.
