Kurt Vonnegut Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons (Opinions) (1974)

9591_resize (260x400, 32Kb)I am charmed that you should call me in your program notes here a humanist. I have always thought of myself as a paranoid, as an overreactor, and a person who makes a questionable living with his mental diseases. Fiction writers are not customarily persons in the best of mental health.

***

Scientists will never be so innocent again. Any young scientist, by contrast, when asked by the military to create a terror weapon on the order of napalm, is bound to suspect that he may be committing modern sin. God bless him for that.

***

One trouble, it seems to me, is that the majority of the people who rule us, who have our money and power, are lawyers or military men. The lawyers want to talk our problems out of existence. The military men want us to find the bad guys and put bullets through their brains. These are not always the best solutionsparticularly in the fields of sewage disposal and birth control.

***

There is a basic rule about tanks, and you should know it: The only man who ever beat a tank was John Wayne. And he was in another tank.

***

I fully expected that by the time I was twenty-one, some scientist, maybe my brother, would have taken a color photograph of God Almightyand sold it to Popular Mechanics magazine.
Scientific truth was going to make us so happy and comfortable.
What actually happened when I was twenty-one was that we dropped scientific truth on Hiroshima.

Jose Casanova Public religions in the modern world (1994)

, 25 2011 . 15:25 +
verbava (free_readings) Jose Casanova Public religions in the modern world

616627 (272x400, 41Kb)It is well known that the conflict between the church and the new science, symbolized by the trial of Galileo, was not about the substantive truth or failstry of the new Copernican theories of the universe as much as it was about the validity of the claim of the new science to have discovered a new method of obtaining and verifying truth.

***

Since religious institutions undergo a process of differentiation and institutional specialization similar to that of other institutional domains, religious roles also become specialized, "part-time roles" within the individual conscience. The more the performance of the nonreligious roles becomes determined by autonomous "secular" norms, the less plausible become the traditional global claims of religious norms.

***

If the temple of ancient polytheism was the Pantheon, a place where all known and even unknown gods could be worshiped simultaneously, the temple of modern polytheism is the mind of the individual self. Indeed, modern individuals do not tend to believe in the existence of various gods. On the contrary, they tend to believe that all religions and all individuals worship the same god under different names and languages, only modern individuals reserve to themselves the right to denominate this god and worship him/her/it in their own peculiar language. Rousseau's "religion of man... without temples, altars or rituals," Thomas Paine's "my mind is my church," and Thomas Jefferson's "I am a sect myself" are paradigmatic "high culture" expressions of the modern form of individual religiosity.

***

The cultic form of modern polytheism is not idolatry but human narcissism. In this particular sense, the cult of the individual has indeed become, as foreseen by Durkheim, the religion of modernity.

***

To say that "religion is a private affair" not only describes a historical process of institutional differentiation but actually prescribes the proper place for religion in social life. The place modernity assigns to religion is "home,' understood not as the physical space of the household but as "the abiding place of one's affection" (Webster's). Home is the sphere of love, expression, intimacy, sentimentality, emotions, irrationality, morality, spirituality, and religion.

Bruno Bettelheim The Uses of Enchantment (1976)

, 03 2011 . 12:59 +
verbava (free_readings) Bruno Bettelheim The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales

1075269-gf (259x400, 39Kb)There is a widespread refusal to let children know that the source of much that goes wrong in life is due to our very own naturesthe propensity of all men for acting aggressively, asocially, selfishly, out of anger and anxiety. Instead, we want our children to believe that, inherently, all men are good. But children know that they are not always good; and often, even when they are, they would prefer not to be. This contradicts what they are told by their parents, and there fore makes the child a monster in his own eyes.

***

This is exactly the message that fairy tales get across to the child in manifold form: that a struggle against severe difficulties in life is un avoidable, is an intrinsic part of human existencebut that if one does not shy away, but steadfastly meets unexpected and often unjust hard ships, one masters all obstacles and at the end emerges victorious.

***

The child needs most particularly to be given suggestions in symbolic form about how he may deal with these issues and grow safely into maturity. "Safe" stories mention neither death nor aging, the limits to our existence, nor the wish for eternal life. The fairy tale, by contrast, confronts the child squarely with the basic human predicaments.

***

The conviction that crime does not pay is a much more effective deterrent, and that is why in fairy tales the bad person always loses out. It is not the fact that virtue wins out at the end which promotes morality, but that the hero is most attractive to the child, who identifies with the hero in all his struggles. Because of this identification the child imagines that he suffers with the hero his trials and tribulations, and triumphs with him as virtue is victorious. The child makes such identifications all on his own, and the inner and outer struggles of the hero imprint morality on him.

***

The figures in fairy tales are not ambivalent, not good and bad at the same time, as we all are in reality. But since polarization dominates the child's mind, it also dominates fairy tales. A person is either good or bad, nothing in between.
