Goethe’s Sentiment on “Living Hand to Mouth” and Jostein Gaarder’s “Sophie’s World”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) and his quote -- “He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.” “Sophie’s World,” the recent novel by Jostein Gaarder (which begins with the quotation from Goethe) demonstrates the ways in which modern humanity must be aware of its own history and the ways in which that history has shaped the contemporary world and the fact that a failure to pay attention to such history assures that the same human problems will continuously present themselves.

Hermeneutics As It Relates To Children
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The meaning and style of hermeneutics inherently includes the nature of understanding and in the broadest possible terms asks: What is understanding? What happens when I say, "I understand"? Understanding is most relevant to hermeneutics when it takes live experience -- the event of understanding -- as its starting point.
