Pierre asks us to consider (a) all 10 of these as a unity, (b) whether their presence and use gives the speech a higher dimension, and (c) whether the speech itself can be seen as a microcosm or core of the whole Iliad.HighlightsPierre puts two questions on the board:Among the uses of Self.. Which uses can best give us clues as to a more profound idea of the Self?What can we learn about Homer's design of the Iliad if we focus on Book 9?What makes book 9 a key book?What would the iliad be missing without book 9?1. thumos for self are in a passion2. yet in the self way he saved many of them..and comparing these first two examplesPhoenix's speech: What is he doing? Can it be said in some way to represent the entire work of the iliad?Is Phoenix playing a surrogate parent role towards achilles? Can you demonstrate that with some quotes?If so, then what is the pathologos that Phoenix has passed on to his “son” Achilles?(A pathologos: a recurring pattern of action based upon one's parent's own life)So we have to pull out from Phoenix's speech (about his early life) what the pathologos is...Reading carefully and considering the 10 selves ('αυτο's) in Phoenix's speechParallels between Phoenix and Achilles' pasts: similarities and differencesA first principle of philosophical midwifery: Things/events may vary, but relations stay the sameDiscussion (JeffS and DavidC) of how the men around achilles abide his sitting it out for a whileBack to Lord Phoenix's speech and the 10 self's: how do these 10 together give a higher dimension to his speech?the best one: “through the self way he saved”More InfoPierre Grimes and Philosophical MidwiferyThe Noetic SocietyThe Pierre Grimes and the Noetic Society collection here on archive.org.
