The Delphic Podcasts by Michael R D James, Review of Campbells "Myths to Live By" Season 14 Episode 14

Noos is the part of mind which is a first principle of all our mental and psychological powers and which Aristotle believed was a divine part of the human mind which was confined to thinking about something. Divine thinking on the other hand was a form of thinking about thinking which it was impossible for us to comprehend. The Storm of the collision of Indian, Eastern and European Cultures and mythologies is here and is creating chaotic turbulence. http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast

"Dust in the air suspended marks the place where a story ended"( T S Eliot Four Quartets). The Astronauts walked on the dust of the moon after the moon was  despiritualised  and the dust was not  the dust of lost souls but remnants of physical processes in the long distant past. Frobenius sees the human race to be maturing toward a telos in which the Holy Ghost no longer needs institutional assistance and can speak directly to mens hearts. Campbell neglects to unravel the mystery of the oracles and the muses. http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast

The Delphic Podcasts by Michael R D James, Review of Shakespeares Philosophical Theatre: Poetry and Plays for all Seasons

Shakespeare is a Philosophical Poet because his works do not just touch on Philosophical themes but rather embodies the ideas of Aristotelian  and Kantian Aesthetics, Ethics, and Philosophical Psychology. His poetic intuitions are clearly set in a Philosophical framework http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast

Schizophrenia  takes many forms and all forms are designated by psychiatric medicine as psychotic conditions. Paranoid Schizophrenia is concerned with the defence mechanisms of splitting, projection and denial (that one is ill, for example) Campbell refers to shamanic crises in this context and likens their experience unto the hero embarking on a long and dangerous Odyssey  into the unknown. Jungs theory of the collective archetypes of the unconscious is a very different kind of account to that we find in Freud, in spite of the claim by both Psychologists to be influenced by Kant. http://michaelrdjames.org [http://michaelrdjames.org] Delphic Podcast
