- W2766900542 abstract "How Shall a Generation Know Its Story: The Edgar Bowers Conference and Exhibition April 11, 2003, UCLA “Inviting a Friend to Supper” by Suzanne Doyle This will surely be the least scholarly of all the papers delivered today. My friendship with Edgar in the last few years of his life was one long rendition of Ben Jonson’s poem, “Inviting a Friend to Supper,” and this happy state of affairs is documented in our email exchange. Today I’ll be reading excerpts from that correspondence, from Edgar’s emails, that is. My selections fall roughly into three categories: Philosophy, Black Letters, and Travel. 1. Philosophy “. . . my man Shall read a piece of Virgil, Tacitus, Livy, or of some better book to us, Of which we’ll speak our minds, amidst our meat;” From “Inviting a Friend to Supper,” Ben Jonson At the beginning of my friendship with Edgar, I didn’t believe he could find me and my highly un-intellectual life very interesting, so I asked if he would continue being my teacher: “Will you teach me philosophy?,” I asked. He laughed. Friday, Jan. 26, 1996 Subject: Philosophy Dear Suzanne, I enjoyed our dinner together very much--and seeing you after what seems a long time, though you hardly seemed any older! Just like me! I was going to recommend, as an “introduction” to thinking and talking about philosophical questions, a book by Arthur Danto, Connections to the World. I recall finding it very useful in defining what he calls “The Character of Philosophical Problems.” If you could find a copy and enjoyed reading it, we might have some talk of it, two amateurs together. It takes a long time and much re-tracing of one’s steps really to understand in detail the texts that one encounters. I think that I’m just beginning to grasp what Hegel means by saying the Real is Rational, the Rational Real . . . I had no idea, of course, what he was saying with respect to Hegel and responded that the Danto on philosophy was out-of-print. I could only find Danto on art. Edgar wrote back: Dear Suzanne, Sorry to hear about the Danto. [I] Don’t find the ones on art as useful or interesting; most “philosophers” write foolishly about art . . . if you find Suzanne Doyle" @default.
