When September observes the death of August
the heat of day starts to diminish for us.
Nature remembers the value of labor.
Vegetable harvest is sold to savor.
Summer has moved closer to Fall.
Light has decreased some from the solstice call.
The wind blows cool to calm the heat.
People find ways to stay off the street.
The bee still dances from flower to flower
to drink the golden glow of particulate power.
The comb is a home
to many a drone.
This model of society is a recognized monarchy.
The natural government has a strong hierarchy.
The hierarchy frames the strength for society.
There is order, stability and interest for production.
The utility of purpose acts as a reduction.
The reduction of wasted time and effort is the result.
The production of a tasteful product reduces tumult.
I am the sole unbusy thing.
My watching doesn't make honey, build or sing.
The hive is the superorganism.
The community is a form of swarming formalism
Observers open the chambers hunting for the queen.
Is she eating honey, laying eggs or avoiding being seen?
Love fulfilled is chance imbibed.
The dance circumscribed
is the eternal flow of time in the hive.
Darkness is welcome even without rain.
The clouds spell relief from the heat as pain.
The earth waits with patience for the golden guest of ray.
The brilliance is released to sing of angelic play.
This voice of gold has called me out there,
outside the window to receive the soft stare.
The uncontested summer played plainly in the air.
Your love looked as simple as that purest of pears
that you picked for me with the greatest of care.
The pearskin’s fleck and trace
was as smooth as any human grace.
It gave the power to break the attack
that held us back from what we lack.
You were brought into a plentiful land
to enjoy its fruit and to make it grand.
The prophets prophesied by the official deposit
then went after things that do not profit.
People changed their glory
for the deception of the liberal media story.
The fountain of living water has been forsaken.
Faith in God has been given away or taken.
That barrier that held us back
was best known to our zodiac
as the curse of the megalomaniac.
The “fear” most of us defined
was a product of the mind.
Those who conquered this great foe
weren't called heroes.
The feeling was brave
for it seemed unafraid.
The fear was not ejected.
It was actually extended
that courage could be defended.
Corporations probed households to increase their prices.
The prices shrieked MORE despite the height of their highness.
The veil of light in day hid the sky seen at night.
The memory of the hive was inscribed in the light
of mind's sight.
Industry sat in the shell of defense.
We built benefit to protect ourselves from menace.
The world was all that was the case.
The Dutch republic decided to give monarchy chase.
The seventeenth century was the frame.
The slave trade became the insane part of the game.
Otherwise, Dutch art became world reknowned.
It celebrated life as it was found.
Sea travel became more frequent.
The ships increased risk with the increase in sequence.
Large waves due to storms had a regularity in their swell.
The up and down was large, but it was manageable.
The rogue wave that was thought to have been a fiction
was met more often in the sailor predeliction for prediction.
The ocean south of Africa's Cape of Good Hope
was likely to make the seasoned sailor feel like a dope.
The monster wave was formed by different factors.
They came together when it was wished that it hadn't mattered.
Crosswinds can push the water waves into a higher swell
when they converge in diagonals in the currents that propel.
Ocean currents also created a rogue.
The water conjoined as the waves arose.
The result was a monster twice the size of normal.
This wave could break your boat as if it were paranormal.
I heard the unfamiliar voice say,
"I eased his burden along the way."
I answered you from the secret place of thunder.
You were rescued when you thought you had made a fatal blunder.
The bitter bite of storm
had threatened to take you from your normal forms.
The calm waters appeared to be made from luck
after the storm had tossed the ship around like a rubber duck
in a tub of foamy bubbles to remove your nasty funk.
Moxibusted mugwort was worth more than gold
when the sailor felt that his body had been told
that it had been mugged, drugged, thugged and rolled.
We confront death while we live
that salvation may be that which gives
us life as the win.
It is energy for the body
that makes it feel alive or godly.
Time for rest is given as a form of freedom
that the body may be forgiven for being driven as needed
in season with or without reason.
Beauty is a state of mind in elegance
that is refined with the practice of intelligence.
Let love be mutual.
Functional relationship has to be usual.
Do not neglect to show kindness to the stranger.
Some have entertained angels that delivered them from danger.
Cool black night had crept in through the forest.
The shadows shrunk as the darkness became enormous.
The shy moon cast little light between the stones upon the river.
The river of stars reached across forever to cause a shiver.
The artist pulled back to look at the canvas.
Certain strokes needed more art as exacted by practice.
The musician cast a wary eye out the window.
The rest was a pest that wanted to be known as wind blown.
The ravine was parched by the heat of the day.
The porch held some souls without much to say.
The black leather jackets were open all the way.
Whatever the color, the wooden house looked grey.
The hi-fi made "Angels Never Die" echo through the trees.
The memory of the highway played along with the breeze.
The Harley hog road by fields, gardens and towns.
Nomadic soul drowned amidst the domestic sounds.
The starving black angel hid in human disguise
with dimensionless being by American design.
A solemn charge was laid upon our gift
as we had come from the land of misery for this.
We are born to suffer
the power of the other.
Sit down and breathe
the breath that you need.
The breath relaxes tension
with attention for descension.
Aim high and plan low.
Constant effort will help you grow.
The squirrel had to scramble as the bird left sight.
but there are times when things work as you plan it.
Work like the sun
to see what you've done.
Don't take poison to see if the antidote works.
If it doesn't, your body will suffer pain or worse.
Realize birth in the boundless moment.
The light is delight in what power has chosen.
The celestial entourage shines in paradise.
The divine device resides inside your surprise.
Shine in your heaven.
The news is on at seven.
Give the past its place.
The present shapes your face.
The future will meet you further in space
with a place for you in grace.
Forget the flash in which you exist.
The world is your map should you persist.
If there was a time when you had to resist,
it went by like a gift without a twist.
This level of gambling is high stakes.
Preserve your benefit with what is right about what it takes.
The logic of reason in constitutional life
is a measure that proves progression against strife.
You are the other already.
You took the Chevy to the levy.
It may sound heavy,
but eternity is steady.
It's a lasting paradigm.
You are the heavy in eternal time.
Become one with your story. Revel with your rhyme.
Tell us who you are with every step.
We vanish inevitably, only when inept.
You remain in the experience you have kept.
You were hewn in dreams as you slept.
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
drifts past with the mingled measure.
I don't know how to pray to make pain pass.
I know how to fall down on my knees in the soft grass
to press the earth with my temple sideways cast.
It is a miracle of rare device.
My heart becomes warm where there had been ice.
What do you plan to do with your wild and precious life?
Sing with joy as your strength.
Let the divine experience of being human guide you at length.

81 Exultate Deo
Exult in God
1 Sing with joy to God our strength
and raise a loud shout to the God of Jacob.
2 Raise a song and sound the timbrel,
the merry harp, and the lyre.
3 Blow the ram's-horn at the new moon,
and at the full moon, the day of our feast.
4 For this is a statute for Israel,
a law of the God of Jacob.
5 He laid it as a solemn charge upon Joseph,
when he came out of the land of Egypt.
6 I heard an unfamiliar voice saying,
"I eased his shoulder from the burden;
his hands were set free from bearing the load."
7 You called on me in trouble, and I saved you;
I answered you from the secret place of thunder
and tested you at the waters of Meribah.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will admonish you:
O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
9 There shall be no strange god among you;
you shall not worship a foreign god.
10 I am the Lord your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt and said,
"Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it."
11 And yet my people did not hear my voice,
and Israel would not obey me.
12 So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their hearts,
to follow their own devices.
13 Oh, that my people would listen to me!
that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 I should soon subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes.
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him,
and their punishment would last for ever.
16 But Israel would I feed with the finest wheat
and satisfy him with honey from the rock.

Jeremiah 2:7-13
I brought you into a plentiful land
to eat its fruits and its good things.
When you entered you defiled the country
and made my heritage an abomination.
The priest did not say, 'Where is the LORD?'
Those who handle the law did not know me.
The rulers transgressed against me.
The prophets prophesied by Baal
and went after things that do not profit.
Once more I accuse you, says the LORD.
I accuse your children's children.
Cross to the coasts of Cyprus and look.
Send to Kedar and examine with care.
See if there has ever been such a thing.
Has a nation changed its gods
even though they are no gods?
My people have changed their glory
for something that does not profit.
My people have forsaken me,
the fountain of living water.
They dug out cisterns that cracked
and can hold no water.
----------------------
You were brought into a plentiful land

Stanley Cavell was subtle in the way he addressed the idea of eternal return in the re-construction of classical consciousness.
If the Greek thought was tainted with obsession for technical brilliance in individual exposition and the Roman polytheistic variant was more concerned with the public proof of personal expertise, then what is the goal for philosophy in monotheistic culture?
Where does personal perspective fit into the grand scheme of cultural development? How does the comedy of re-marriage influence the view of how things change with a different partner? Is it possible to achieve progress in the recurrence of cyclical events?
Are we condemned with Nietzsche to rant at the errors of the Christian religion as the weakness of western society? The logical positivists attempted to rule out metaphysical thought as an absurdity for public discourse.
The broad reach of the philosophy of language has sought to limit debate to areas of concern that can be resolved in the course of human knowledge. It is a reasonable limitation when socialist or populist economic theory isn’t seeking to destroy opposition to the demands of the liberal political position.
Liberals want government to create problems that only their political position can refuse to resolve in order to elevate their own benefit to a superior place in society.
Cavell turned to the aesthetics of film with ordinary language philosophy to look for ways to deal with the problem of recurrence.

Stanley Cavell
b. 9.1.1926 Atlanta, Georgia
d. 6.19.2018 Boston, Massachusetts
Stanley Louis Cavell was an American philosopher who taught at Harvard University for much of his life. He made statements in the fields of ethics, aesthetics and ordinary language philosophy.
He produced influential works on Wittgenstein, Austin, Emerson, Thoreau and Heidegger. Much of his expression was published as an interpreter. His work is characterized by its conversational tone and frequent literary references. He is noted for having included film and literary study in philosophical inquiry.
I remember Stanley Cavell for his recommendation to use ordinary language in philosophy, but his use of film for commentary set him apart from the philosophers who preceded him.
Atlanta
Atlanta is situated among the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It straddles the Eastern Continental Divide. The rainwater that falls on the south and east side of the divide flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The rainwater on the north and west side flows into the Gulf of Mexico. It has one of the highest elevations among major cities east of the Mississippi River.
It is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia. The estimated population in 2018 was under 500,000. The larger metropolitan area holds 5.9 million people. It is the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the nation.
Atlanta was originally founded as the end of the line for a major state-sponsored railroad. It soon became the convergence point between multiple railroads with rapid expansion. Further growth was spurred. The city's name was derived from that of the Western and Atlantic Railroad's local depot.
The city was almost entirely burned to the ground during the American Civil War in General William T. Sherman's famous March to the Sea. The city rose from its ashes and quickly became a national center of commerce and the unofficial capital of the "New South".
It experienced a period of unprecedented growth during the first decades of the 20th century. The population tripled as the city limits expanded to include nearby streetcar suburbs in three decades.
The city's skyline emerged with the construction of the Equitable, Flatiron, Empire and Candler buildings. Sweet Auburn emerged as a center of black commerce.
The period was also marked by strife and tragedy. Increased racial tensions led to the Atlanta Race Riot of 1906. The violence left at least 27 people dead and over 70 injured.
Leo Frank, a Jewish-American factory superintendent, was convicted of the murder of a 13-year-old girl in a highly publicized trial in 1913. He was hanged in Marietta by a lynch mob after having his death sentence commuted in 1915. The event deeply impacted the Jewish community in Atlanta and across the country.
The city became a major organizing center of the civil rights movement with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph David Abernathy during the 1950's and 60's.
Stanley Cavell
Stanley Louis Goldstein was born to Jewish immigrants in Atlanta on September 1, 1926. His mother, Fannie (nee Segal) was a locally renowned pianist. She trained him in music from his early years. His father, Irving, had a series of jewelry and other small shops.
The family moved from Atlanta to Sacramento, California and back again several times when he was young. His father was chasing economic stability during the Depression.
Stanley was a gifted student. He played lead alto saxophone as the youngest member of a black jazz band in Sacramento when he was an adolescent. He graduated from high school in Sacramento in 1943.
He changed his name to Cavell. “Goldstein” had been assigned to his father, an immigrant from Poland, when he arrived in the United States. “Cavell” was a variant on the family’s original Polish name.
He attempted to enlist in the military. He was rejected because of ear damage he had suffered when he was struck by a car at age 6. He tried to bluff his way through. He was eager to serve due to his family roots. He lied about his age and forged a doctor's note about his ear. The entry physician took a look at his ear and sent him home.
He enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley and studied music with his friend, Bob Thompson. He graduated in 1947. He studied composition at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City for a short time. He discovered that it wasn't his vocation.
He entered graduate school at UCLA to study philosophy, then transferred to Harvard. The influence of J.L. Austin "knocked him off his horse" as a student. Austin was a British philosopher of language and leading proponent of ordinary language philosophy. He is perhaps best known for developing the theory of speech acts.
Austin pointed out that we use language to do things as well as to assert things. The utterance of a statement like "I promise to do so-and-so" is best understood as doing something. It is the act of making a promise. This speech is more significant as an act than making an assertion about anything.
He made a significant challenge to the philosophy of language with his theory of speech acts. It went beyond the analysis of morphological sentence forms that function to do what they name.
Utterance is the doing of something with words and signs. It challenges the metaphysics that would posit denotative, propositional assertion as the essence of language.
Cavell was awarded a Junior Fellowship at the Harvard Society of Fellows in 1954. He became an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1956 before the completion of his Ph.D.
Cavell's daughter by his first wife (Marcia), Rachel Lee Cavell, was born in 1957. His marriage to Marcia ended in divorce in 1961.
He was a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey from 1962-63. He befriended the British philosopher Bernard Williams there.
Williams was a visiting professor at Princeton University in 1963. He was an English moral philosopher. He is known for his efforts to reorient the study of moral philosophy to psychology, history and in particular to the Greeks.
Cavell returned to the Harvard Philosophy Department where he became the Walter M. Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value in 1963.
He joined a group of graduate students who taught at Tougaloo College in the summer of 1964. Tougaloo was a historically black college in Mississippi. The group organized a volunteer drive to register as many African American voters as possible in Mississippi.
This was part of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960's. The claim that white racism divided and oppressed black people was used as the organizational motivation.
He and Cathleen (Cohen) were married in 1967.
Cavell was helped by his colleague John Rawls to draft language with a group of African American students for a vote by the faculty that established the Department of African and African-American Studies at Harvard.
Rawls is known for his moral position against ultilitarian political philosophy. He argued that the 'veil of ignorance' kept people from fairness in the theory of justice. He basically asserted that there is no such thing as institutional racism from the minority group.
White racism is defined as a mechanism of the majority group. This is the political mechanism that has to be countered socially for justice. The theory institutes racism against the majority group with stories about it in the liberal media.
Cavell's first son Benjamin was born in 1976.
Prof. Cavell interacted with the continental group even though he was trained in the Anglo-American analytic tradition. He wrote about Ludwig Wittgenstein, J. L. Austin and Martin Heidegger, as well as on the American transcendentalists Henry Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. He interpreted Wittgenstein in a fashion known as the New Wittgenstein.
The New Wittgenstein interpretation is a view that the earlier Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and the later Investigations are actually in less opposition to each other than usually understood. This view is in conflict with the interpretation of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus advocated by the logical positivists associated with the Vienna Circle.
A prominent view set out in the Tractatus is the picture theory of language. The picture theory is an explanation of the capacity of language and thought to represent the world. Wittgenstein was largely concerned with the way propositions function as representations although something need not be a proposition to represent something in the world.
Propositions can "picture" the world as being a certain way. The picture can accurately represent it either truly or falsely. Pictures have what Wittgenstein calls Form der Abbildung or pictorial form which they share with what they depict. This means that all the logically possible arrangements of the pictorial elements in the picture correspond to the possibilities of arranging the things which they depict in reality.
Pictures cannot represent their own logical form. They cannot say what they have in common with reality. They can only show it.
This conception of representation as picturing also allows him to derive two striking claims. No proposition can be known a priori. There is only logical necessity. If a proposition pictures a state of affairs in virtue of being a picture in logical space, then a non-logical or metaphysical "necessary truth" would be a state of affairs which is satisfied by any possible arrangement of objects.
This means that the would-be necessary proposition would not depict anything as being so. It will be true no matter what the world is actually like. If that's the case, then the proposition cannot say anything about the world or describe any fact in it. It would not be correlated with any particular state of affairs. It is like a tautology insofar as it lacks sense.
When a proposition is thought or expressed according to the logical positivists, the proposition represents reality (truly or falsely) by virtue of sharing some features with that reality in common.
Those features themselves are something Wittgenstein claimed we could not say anything about.
We cannot describe the relationship that pictures bear to what they depict, but only show it via fact stating propositions.
We cannot say that there is a correspondence between language and reality. The correspondence itself can only be shown since our language is not capable of describing its own logical structure. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
The Tractatus caught the attention of the philosophers of the Vienna Circle (1921–1933). The interest of Rudolf Carnap and Moritz Schlick was especially piqued. Schlick eventually convinced Wittgenstein to meet with members of the circle to discuss the Tractatus when he returned to Vienna.
The positivists argued that the last few passages, including Proposition 7, are confused. Carnap hailed the book as containing important insights, but encouraged people to ignore the concluding sentences.
Proposition 7 ends the book with the statement "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." Wittgenstein told Schlick that he couldn't imagine how Carnap had missed the point of the work.
The New Wittgenstein argues that he did not provide a theoretical account of language that relegates ethics and philosophy to a mystical realm of the unsayable. The purpose for the Tractatus is to make the reader aware of the logic of our language. The reader is presented with a model for reason.
Cavell's writing incorporates autobiographical elements concerning how his movement within the ideas of Wittgenstein, Austin, Heidigger, Thoreau and Emerson influenced his own thought in that it impacted spheres in the arts and humanities beyond the technical study of philosophy.
Cavell established his distinct philosophical identity with Must We Mean What We Say? (1969). It addresses topics such as language use, metaphor, skepticism, tragedy and literary interpretation from the point of view of ordinary language philosophy.
One of the essays discusses Søren Kierkegaard's work on revelation and authority. The Book on Adler was written by Kierkegaard about pastor Adolph Peter Adler. He had claimed to have received a revelation.
Adler was subsequently dismissed from his pastor duties after some questionable acts. He later restated that his was the work of genius as opposed to revelation. The rest of the work focuses on the concept of authority and how it relates to Adler's situation.
Kierkegaard was against claims of received revelation without due consideration. Cavell described the situation is an effort to help re-introduce the book to modern philosophical readers.
Modern Media
Cavell looks at photography and film in The World Viewed (1971). He also covers modernism in art and the nature of media. He mentions the influence of art critic Michael Fried's writing on his work. The philosophy of film is now a firmly established sub-field of contemporary in aesthetics.
Aesthetics has always had a concern not just with art in general but with specific art forms. Aristotle's Poetics was devoted to explaining the nature of Greek tragedy.
Philosophers have sought to explain the specific characteristics of each significant art form of their culture since controversy in the culture has stimulated a reason to understand the conflict.
Plato had banished poets from his ideal city in The Republic. There has been a thread of hostility towards the arts that has been endemic to anti-aesthetic thought.
Philosophy and the various art forms were perceived to be competing sources of knowledge and belief. Those who sought to maintain the exclusivity of their claim to truth have dismissed the arts as poor pretenders to the title of purveyors of truth.
Philosophers of film have generally opposed this view. Film is a source of knowledge. The media is a potential contributor to philosophy itself. This view was forcefully articulated by Cavell. His interest in the philosophy of film helped spark the field's development.
The meaning of film is inherently concerned with skepticism and the different ways that it can be overcome. He has argued that film shares this concern with philosophy and can even provide philosophic insights of its own in a number of his books and articles.
Cavell described his experience of seven prominent Hollywood comedies: The Lady Eve, It Happened One Night, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, Adam’s Rib and The Awful Truth in Pursuits of Happiness (1981).
He argued that these films from the years 1934–1949 formed a part of what he called the genre of "The Comedy of Remarriage." He found in them great philosophical, moral and indeed political significance.
He traced the history of moral perfectionism in the Cities of Words (2004). This was a mode of moral thinking that spanned the history of Western philosophy and literature. He used Emerson to outline the concept. The book suggested a way we might want to understand philosophy, literature and film as preoccupied with features of perfectionism.
He helped found the Harvard Film Archive along with the documentary filmmaker Robert Gardner to preserve and present the history of film.
Cavell is perhaps best known for his book, The Claim of Reason: Wittgenstein, Skepticism, Morality, and Tragedy (1979). It formed the centerpiece of his work. Its origins were investigated in his doctoral dissertation.
His second son David was born in 1984.
He remained on the Harvard faculty until his retirement in 1997. He taught courses at Yale University and the University of Chicago after he retired. He also held the Spinoza Chair of Philosophy at the University of Amsterdam in 1998.
Cavell died in Boston, Massachusetts of heart failure on June 19, 2018 at the age of 91. He was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery among other Boston brahmins.
