[317] 1. Marie McGinn writes on Wittgenstein’s Critique of Augustine

Marie McGinn closely analysed Wittgenstein's usage and refutation of referentialist Saint Augustine in the Philosophical Investigations. Augustine outlined ostensive definition as a process of attributing external language to internal understanding, but Wittgenstein argues that this view is limited both by Augustine's limited examples and his philosophical desire for an essential truth that doesn't exist. Wittgenstein believes word die in abstraction.   This research is initiated by and based on resources provided by Dr. Stephen Chadwick at Massey University as part of the course 134.317: Recent and Contemporary Philosophy.  Reference: McGinn, M. (1997). Wittgenstein's critique of Augustine. In Routledge Philosophy guidebook to Wittgenstein and the Philosophical Investigations, (pp.36 - 72). Routledge.

[314] 2. Seneca's Apocololcyntosis - Gobbet Exercise

Apocololcyntosis is a Menippean satire that sharply criticises the deification of Claudius. The suspected poet, Seneca, had been exiled for having an affair with Claudius’ wife Messalina, perhaps contributing to the satire’s scathing presentation of the emperor.  This biased and entertaining fictional account, while not presenting any historical events, may offer an insight into the discourse surrounding Claudius’ death. This research is initiated by and based on resources provided by the lecturers at Massey University as part of the course 201.314: Imperial Rome. References Dio. (1915). Roman history (Cary, E., Trans). In Dio’s Roman history.

[314] 1. Ovid's Metamorphosis - Gobbet Analysis - Augustus

A Gobbet analysis takes a close look at a section of a text. Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid)’s Metamorphosis writes in support of Augustus. The poets under the patronage of Gaius Maecenas, a political supporter and friend of the Caesar, offer a biased but interesting account of the values Augustus wished to perpetuate, namely his fated divinity, peaceful nature, and the immorality of Marcus Antony. This research is initiated by and based on resources provided by the lecturers at Massey University as part of the course 201.314: Imperial Rome.  References Appian. (1899).
