![]() ![]() I demonstrate how Foucault misconstrued Zen Buddhism as a practical philosophy that is concerned with the self, and failed to recognize the extent to which the Zen Buddhism he was confronted with is a modern ideological construct informed by quintessentially Western philosophical sensibilities. Foucault seems to have been interested in Zen Buddhism as a possible Eastern variant of Hellenistic self-care. The question driving this thesis is whether we could understand Tanabe's call for self-abandonment as a Foucauldian technique of the self. By contrast, Tanabe thought that any reliance on the self should be abandoned in favor of a life of compassionate action lived hearing the calling of a religious Other-power. In his later work, Foucault shows how in Hellenistic and Roman culture immanent values were shaped through self-care, thereby bringing to the attention a compelling alternative to the dependence on transcendent values that we have grown accustomed to through centuries of Christianity. ![]() ![]() This master's thesis sets out to compare the thought of the Japanese Kyoto School philosopher Tanabe Hajime (1889-1962) with that of the French philosopher and social critic Michel Foucault (1926-1984), particularly on the topic of self-care and the possibility of personal transformation. ![]()

The idea of killing someone for money makes me squeamish, so I’d lean towards tracking down missing persons to reunite them with their loved ones. If you were a bounty hunter, who would you most like to track down? The heroine of Chasing Sisyphus is a bounty hunter. I study martial arts as a hobby and my partner’s an instructor, which meant we could test out the fight scenes to make sure they were plausible. I learned a lot about how misleading TV can be, how simple (while not terribly easy) it is to kill a person, and how the human body responds in violent situations. I’m sure my Google search history could implicate me in a crime… I read up on weaponry, psychology, human anatomy and biomechanics. What kind of research went into writing the story?

Miguel de Cervantes is widely held as the greatest Spanish writer and true literary legend who contributed greatly to the development of prose writing as we know it today, yet his true identity has been a subject in danger of being permanently erased from the annals of history. ![]() ![]() ![]() Readers will learn to live by the The Total Money Makeover motto: "If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else." - Publisher.

Davies Set The Modern Doctor Who Template (& Did It Best)īoth showrunners peddled near enough the same tonal balance of alien comedy and swashbuckling adventure, while early interactions between the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond mimicked the controversial RTD "snogging" craze. But why has the 2005-2009 stretch of Doctor Who aged so well, even compared to Steven Moffat's era? Russell T. Davies seasons that many Doctor Who fans might admit to remembering more fondly (if forced to choose with a sonic screwdriver to their heads), and RTD's popularity with viewers has undoubtedly contributed to his 2023 return. ![]() Nevertheless, it's the original Russell T.
