Description

“A tour de force that both challenges and expands our understanding of the very practice of philosophy . . . and comparative philosophy in particular” (Joseph Markowski, Reading Religion).

In Nietzche and Other Buddhas, author Jason M. Wirth brings major East Asian Buddhist thinkers into radical dialogue with key Continental philosophers through a series of exercises that pursue what is traditionally called comparative or intercultural philosophy. In the process, he reflects on what makes such exercises possible and intelligible.

The primary questions Wirth asks are: How does this particular engagement and confrontation challenge and radicalize what is sometimes called comparative or intercultural philosophy? How does this task reconsider what is meant by philosophy?

The confrontations that Wirth sets up between Dogen, Hakuin, Linji, Shinran, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, James, and Deleuze consider the nature of philosophy—and especially comparative philosophy—from a global perspective. This global perspective in turn opens up a new and challenging space of thought within and between the cutting edges of Western Continental philosophy and East Asian Buddhist practice.

John O'Donohue (1 January 1956 – 4 January 2008) was an Irish poet, author, priest, and Hegelian philosopher. He was a native Irish speaker,[1] and as an author is best known for popularising Celtic spirituality.[2][3]

Early life and education[edit]

Eldest of four siblings, he was raised in west Ireland in the area of Connemara and County Clare, where his father Patrick O'Donohue was a stonemason, while his mother Josie O'Donohue was a housewife.[4]

O'Donohue became a novice at Maynooth, in north County Kildare, at age of 18, here he earned degrees in English, Philosophy, and Theology at St Patrick's College in County Kildare. He was ordained as Catholic priest on 6 June 1979.[5][6] O'Donohue moved to Tübingen, Germany in 1986, and completed his dissertation in 1990 on German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel for his PhD in philosophical theology from University of Tübingen. In 1990, he returned to Ireland to continue his priestly duties, and began his post-doctoral work on the 13th century mystic, Meister Eckhart.[6]

Career[edit]

O'Donohue's first published work of prose, Anam cara (1997), catapulted him into a more public life as an author, speaker and teacher, particularly in the United States. O'Donohue left the priesthood in 2000. O'Donohue also devoted his energies to environmental activism, and is credited with helping spearhead the Burren Action Group, which opposed government development plans and ultimately preserved the area of Mullaghmore and the Burren, a karst landscape in County Clare.[7]

Later in life, O’Donohue became a prominent speaker on creativity in the workplace. He consulted executives in the corporate sector “on integrating a sense of soul and of beauty into their leadership and their imagination about the people with whom they work.”[8]

Just two days after his 52nd birthday and two months after the publication of his final complete work, Benedictus: A Book of Blessings, O'Donohue died suddenly in his sleep on 4 January 2008 while on holiday near Avignon, France. The exact cause of death has not been released by his family, leaving writers of non-fiction to speculation regarding the cause. Articles and posts have listed an aneurysm, heart problem, and aspiration as possible causes.[9][failed verification] He was survived by his partner Kristine Fleck, his mother Josephine (Josie) O'Donohue, his brothers, Patrick (Pat) and Peter (PJ) O'Donohue, and his sister, Mary O'Donohue.[5][10]

Posthumous publications include a reprinting of The Four Elements, a book of essays, in 2010[11] and Echoes of Memory (2011), an early work of poetry originally collected in 1994.[12] In March 2015, a series of radio conversations he had recorded with close friend and former RTÉ broadcaster John Quinn was collated and published as Walking on the Pastures of Wonder.[13]

Litigation regarding his will[edit]

O'Donohue's last will was held to be invalid by the High Court in December 2011, Justice Gilligan holding that "As a piece of English, the Will is unclear on its face" and that the will was void for uncertainty.[5] The will did not leave anything to his partner Kristine Fleck. In the absence of a valid will his estate devolved on his mother, Josie O'Donohue.[5]

Quotations[edit]

  • "When you cease to fear your solitude, a new creativity awakens in you. Your forgotten or neglected wealth begins to reveal itself. You come home to yourself and learn to rest within. Thoughts are our inner senses. Infused with silence and solitude, they bring out the mystery of inner landscape."
Anam Cara, p. 17

"Part of understanding the notion of Justice is to recognize the disproportions among which we live...it takes an awful lot of living with the powerless to really understand what it is like to be powerless, to have your voice, thoughts, ideas and concerns count for very little. We, who have been given much, whose voices can be heard, have a great duty and responsibility to make our voices heard with absolute integrity for those who are powerless."

  • “Music is what language would love to be if it could.” [14]

이남곡 - 박시제중(博施濟衆)이 최고의 인(仁), 대동세상을 위하여

오피니언 > 칼럼 > 614호 박시제중(博施濟衆)이 최고의 인(仁), 대동세상을 위하여

이남곡 

인(仁)에 관한 세 번째 이야기다.

자공과 공자의 대화다.
“만일 널리 백성에게 베풀고 능히 대중을 구제한다면 어떠합니까? 인자(仁者)라 할 수 있겠
습니까?”
“어찌 인자(仁者)에 그치리오. 성인(聖人)이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 요순(堯舜) 같은 사람
도 부족함을 느낀 경지라 할 것이다.”  (논어 6편28장))
子貢曰, 如有博施於民 而能濟衆 何如 可謂仁乎
子曰, 何事於仁 必也聖乎 堯舜 其猶病諸

공자는 박시제중(博施濟衆)을 인(仁)의 최고의 목표라고 말하고 있다.

그 당시의 왕조시대를 생각하면 성군(聖君)이 인정(仁政)을 베풀어서 모든 사람이 가난이나
폭정에 시달리지 않도록 하는 것을 최고의 이상으로 하고 있는 것이다.

그 인정(仁政)의 내용을 요즘 말로 표현하면 ‘주고 받는(give and take) 방식’을 넘어서서 모
든 사람의 생활을 사회가 보장하는 세상을 꿈꾸는 것이다.
이른바 대동(大同)세상이다.

불자(佛者)들에게 매우 익숙한  무주상보시(無住相布施)는 박시제중(博施濟衆)의 정신과 실
천을 보다 심화시킨 경지를 나타낸다.

과연 사회와 세상의 성화(聖化)를 꿈꿀 수 있을까?
 과거에는 꿈같은 이야기였지만, 요즘은 지평선 너머로 약간은 보이는 듯하다.
물질적 준비와 의식(意識)의 준비가 함께 이루어지면 사회안전망의 구축을 향한 획기적 실
험들이 이런 사회를 향한 보편적인 걸음으로 될 것이다.
-
유가(儒家)의 박시제중(博施濟衆)이나 불가(佛家)의 하화중생(下化衆生)베푸는 주체와
받는 객체가 분리되는 표현인데 비해 이보다 한 발 더 나아간 표현이 있다.
그것이 홍익인간(弘益人間)이다. 주체와 객체가 분리되지 않는 표현이다.
그리고 이것을 우주자연의 리(理)로 파악하여 그것을 인간 세상에서 실현하겠다는 바람이
재세이화(在世理化)다.
 우리의 건국이념인 홍익인간(弘益人間)과 재세이화(在世理化)는 위대한 사상이다.
인간과 자연의 분리와 인간중심적인 문명이 생태적 재앙으로 이어지는 현실에서 홍익인간
(弘益人間)을 홍익만유(弘益萬有)로 확장한다면, 21세기 문명의 방향을 제시하는 가장 보편
적인 최고의 목표라고 할 수 있다.

그런데 지금 우리의 현실은 어떤가?
극심한 양극화가 우려되는 이기적인 각자도생의 세계 10위권의 경제대국, 핵무기와  SLBM
(잠수함발사탄도미사일)을 가진 가난하고 시대착오적인 세습왕조.  남북의 현실이다.
이 위대한 정신을 지닌 우리 공동체가 그 정도(正道)로, 본류(本流)를 찾아 일변(一變)할 수
있다면, 사상과 문화의 강국으로 되어, 아직도 지배적인 세계의 패권 투쟁의 질서를 그 근본
에서 바꾸는 진원지가 될 수 있는 꿈을 꿀 수 있다. 나는 최고의 이상적인 사회를 
  1. ‘줄 수 있는것이 있고, 
  2. 주고 싶은 마음이 있어, 
  3. 주는 것만으로 성립하는 사회’라고 생각한다.
서세동점의 제국주의가 세계를 제패하던 격변기에 우리 공동체가 꿈꾸었던 ‘개벽’이라는 말
을 사용해서 이 이상을 음미해 본다.

첫째 줄 수 있는 것이 있어야 한다. 총수요를 넘어서는 총공급이 가능해야 한다.
이것이 물질 개벽이다.
이것을 가능케한 것이 자본주의였고, 그 동력은 과학기술의 발전과 해방된 개인의 이익과
경쟁이었다.
지금 논의가 시작되고 있는 기본소득을 비롯한 사회안전망의 획기적 구축방안도 튼튼한 물
적 토대가 있어야 가능하다.
자본주의 시장 경제의 건강성과 효율성의 조화야말로 물적 토대를 튼튼하게 하는 기초다.
실물경제의 흐름이 갖는 자본주의 시장의 복합성을 이해하지 못하고, 정의를 구현한다고
가가 지나치게 개입하는 것은 자칫 시장의 자율성과 활력을 떨어트려 어렵게 구축한 물적
토대를 허물어트릴 위험이 있다.
환상을 부추기며 실제로는 권력쟁취를 위한 포퓰리즘을 경계하는 이유다.

둘째는 주고 싶은 마음이 넓어져야 한다.
  총체적 물량은 풍부해졌지만 자기중심적인 탐욕이 수그러들지 않으면,
불평등과 양극화가 심해지고 생태계의 조화를 깨트림으로서 생태적 재앙에 직면하는 위기
를 낳는다.
각자도생의 차가운 이익과 경쟁을 넘어, ‘자아실현과 우애’라는 동기로 비약적으로 발전하
는 인공지능을 비롯한 과학기술을 활용하여 물질적 토대를 튼튼하게 할 수 있을까?
그 바탕에서 주고 싶은 마음박시(博施) 보시(布施) 홍익(弘益)의 마음이 커지고 소비 위
주의 물질문명에서 단순소박한 삶의 풍요를 즐기는 정신문명으로 전환하는 것만이 위기를
벗어나 인류가 새롭게 도약할 수 있는 길로 보인다.
이것은 법규나 윤리도덕규범으로 강제될 수 있는 것이 아니다.
자신의 필요를 충족시키고 남는 부분을 풀어놓는 것이 기쁨으로 되는 자발적이고 자유로운
마음에 의해서 이루어지는 것이다.
이것이 정신개벽이다.

셋째는 물질개벽과 정신개벽이 어울려 제도화됨으로서 사회의 성화(聖化)가 완성되는 것이
다.
주는 것(풀어놓음)의 순환 과정에서 자신도 자연스럽게 받게 되는 사회 시스템을 만들어가
는 것이다. 선물(膳物)의 사회가 보편화되는 것이다.
자본주의를 평화적이고 무리 없이 넘어서는 것이다.
국경이나 소유도 자연스럽게 사라져갈 것이다.
이것이 제도 개벽이다.
-
대중들에게 줄것이 있어야.
서로에게 주고 싶은 마음이 교육돼야.

물질개벽과 정신개벽의 제도화.

꿈같은 이야기이지만, 혼돈과 위기의 시대일수록 어둠의 악순환에 묻히지 않기 위해서는 밝
은 이상을 마음에 품고 그것을 북극성(北極星) 삼아 한발 한발 나아가는 것이 필요하다.
그런데 이런 유장(悠長)한 꿈을 실현하는 첫 단추로 반드시 통과해야할 관문이 있다. 요즘
이곳저곳에서 터져 나오는 여야를 막론한 정경유착의 이권카르텔과 독점 그리고 위선과 부
패를 뿌리 뽑아야 한다. 개혁주체의 정치-도덕적 권위가 어느 때보다 요구된다.
대선 과정의 치열함 속에서  치부(恥部)와 환부(患部)가 들어나는 것은 하나의 기회로 된다.
자유민주주의가 갖는 장점의 하나라고 생각한다.
도덕적 정치적 권위를 갖는 개혁 세력이 새 정부를 구성함으로서 새로운 문명의 물꼬를 틀
수 있도록 국민이 집단지성을 발휘하기를 간절하게 기도하는 심정이다.

Map of part of New Zealand to illustrate Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited

Erewhon: or, Over the Range (/ɛrɛhwɒn/[1]) is a novel by Samuel Butler which was first published anonymously in 1872,[2] set in a fictional country discovered and explored by the protagonist. Butler meant the title to be understood as the word "nowhere" backwards[citation needed] even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed. The book is a satire on Victorian society.[3]

The first few chapters of the novel dealing with the discovery of Erewhon are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand, where, as a young man, he worked as a sheep farmer on Mesopotamia Station for about four years (1860–64), and explored parts of the interior of the South Island and which he wrote about in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863).

The novel is one of the first to explore ideas of artificial intelligence, as influenced by Darwin's recently published On the Origin of Species (1859) and the machines developed out of the Industrial Revolution (late 18th to early 19th centuries). Specifically, it concerns itself, in the three-chapter "Book of the Machines", with the potentially dangerous ideas of machine consciousness and self-replicating machines.

Content[edit]

The greater part of the book consists of a description of Erewhon. The nature of this nation is intended to be ambiguous. At first glance, Erewhon appears to be a Utopia, yet it soon becomes clear that this is far from the case. Yet for all the failings of Erewhon, it is also clearly not a dystopia, such as that depicted in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

As a satirical utopia, Erewhon has sometimes been compared to Gulliver's Travels (1726), a classic novel by Jonathan Swift; the image of Utopia in this latter case also bears strong parallels with the self-view of the British Empire at the time. It can also be compared to the William Morris novel, News from Nowhere.

Erewhon satirises various aspects of Victorian society, including criminal punishment, religion and anthropocentrism. For example, according to Erewhonian law, offenders are treated as if they were ill, whereas ill people are looked upon as criminals. Another feature of Erewhon is the absence of machines; this is due to the widely shared perception by the Erewhonians that they are potentially dangerous.

The Book of the Machines[edit]

Butler developed the three chapters of Erewhon that make up "The Book of the Machines" from a number of articles that he had contributed to The Press, which had just begun publication in Christchurch, New Zealand, beginning with "Darwin among the Machines" (1863). Butler was the first to write about the possibility that machines might develop consciousness by natural selection.[4][5]

Many dismissed this as a joke; but, in his preface to the second edition, Butler wrote, "I regret that reviewers have in some cases been inclined to treat the chapters on Machines as an attempt to reduce Mr Darwin's theory to an absurdity. Nothing could be further from my intention, and few things would be more distasteful to me than any attempt to laugh at Mr Darwin."

Characters[edit]

  • Higgs—The narrator who informs the reader of the nature of Erewhonian society.
  • Chowbok (Kahabuka)—Higgs' guide into the mountains; he is a native who greatly fears the Erewhonians. He eventually abandons Higgs.
  • Yram—The daughter of Higgs' jailer who takes care of him when he first enters Erewhon. Her name is Mary spelled backwards.
  • Senoj Nosnibor—Higgs' host after he is released from prison; he hopes that Higgs will marry his elder daughter. His name is Robinson Jones backwards.
  • Zulora—Senoj Nosnibor's elder daughter—Higgs finds her unpleasant, but her father hopes Higgs will marry her. Her name is Aroluz backwards.
  • Arowhena—Senoj Nosnibor's younger daughter; she falls in love with Higgs and runs away with him.
  • Mahaina—A woman who claims to suffer from alcoholism but is believed to have a weak temperament.
  • Ydgrun—The incomprehensible goddess of the Erewhonians. Her name is an anagram of Grundy (from Mrs. Grundy, a character in Thomas Morton's play Speed the Plough).

Reception[edit]

After its first release, this book sold far better than any of Butler's other works,[clarification needed] perhaps because the British public assumed that the anonymous author was some better-known figure[citation needed] (the favourite being Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who had published The Coming Race two years previously). In a 1945 broadcast, George Orwell praised the book and said that when Butler wrote Erewhon it needed "imagination of a very high order to see that machinery could be dangerous as well as useful." He recommended the novel, though not its sequel, Erewhon Revisited.[6]

Influence and legacy[edit]

Deleuze and Guattari[edit]

The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze used ideas from Butler's book at various points in the development of his philosophy of difference. In Difference and Repetition (1968), Deleuze refers to what he calls "Ideas" as "Erewhon". "Ideas are not concepts", he argues, but rather "a form of eternally positive differential multiplicity, distinguished from the identity of concepts."[7] "Erewhon" refers to the "nomadic distributions" that pertain to simulacra, which "are not universals like the categories, nor are they the hic et nunc or nowhere, the diversity to which categories apply in representation."[8] "Erewhon", in this reading, is "not only a disguised no-where but a rearranged now-here."[9]

In his collaboration with Félix GuattariAnti-Oedipus (1972), Deleuze draws on Butler's "The Book of the Machines" to "go beyond" the "usual polemic between vitalism and mechanism" as it relates to their concept of "desiring-machines":[10]

For one thing, Butler is not content to say that machines extend the organism, but asserts that they are really limbs and organs lying on the body without organs of a society, which men will appropriate according to their power and their wealth, and whose poverty deprives them as if they were mutilated organisms. For another, he is not content to say that organisms are machines, but asserts that they contain such an abundance of parts that they must be compared to very different parts of distinct machines, each relating to the others, engendered in combination with the others ... He shatters the vitalist argument by calling in question the specific or personal unity of the organism, and the mechanist argument even more decisively, by calling in question the structural unity of the machine.

Other uses[edit]

C.S. Lewis alludes to the book in his essay, The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment in the posthumously published collection, God in the Dock (1970).

Aldous Huxley alludes to the book in his novel Island (1962) as does Agatha Christie in Death on the Nile (1937).

In 1994, a group of ex-Yugoslavian writers in Amsterdam, who had established the PEN centre of Yugoslav Writers in Exile, published a single issue of a literary journal Erewhon.[11]

New Zealand sound art organisation, the Audio Foundation, published in 2012 an anthology edited by Bruce Russell named Erewhon Calling after Butler's book.[12]

In 2014, New Zealand artist Gavin Hipkins released his first feature film, titled Erewhon and based on Butler's book. It premiered at the New Zealand International Film Festival and the Edinburgh Art Festival.[13]

In "Smile", the second episode of the 2017 season of Doctor Who, the Doctor and Bill explore a spaceship named Erehwon. Despite the slightly different spelling, the episode writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce confirmed[14] that this was a reference to Butler's novel.

'The Butlerian Jihad' is the name of the crusade to wipeout 'thinking machines' in the novel, Dune, by Frank Herbert.[15]

'Erewhon' is the name of Los Angeles-based natural foods grocery store originally founded in Boston in 1966.[16]

'Erewhon' is also the name of an independent speculative fiction publishing company[17] founded in 2018 by Liz Gorinsky.[18]
