Ancient Turkish Writing System
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. As the fundamental basis of myriad other languages that followed, ancient Turkish helped to lead the way for other civilizations to cultivate their own language skills. Incorporated into contemporary Turkish are the properties of the ancient written and vocal components of what has now been classified as a lost language. Along with the Sumerians, Elamites, Medes, Scythians, Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians, Trojans, Etruscans and Arameans, ancient Turkish -- as it was in the very beginning -- is nothing but a memory in today's world, having left a tremendous legacy behind its cultural contribution. The writer discusses ancient Turkish in relation to writing and language. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Apostolic Succession: Its Evolution In Roman Imagery
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. When discussing the theme of apostolic succession and its evolution in Roman imagery – including architecture – from Early Christianity through the seventeenth century, the student will first want to define the notion of apostolic succession. In essence, it represents "Christ's promise to remain with His Church so that 'he who hears you hears Me'" (Kresta, 2001), thereby necessitating human agents in order to uphold this pledge. This "laying on of hands" (Sweeley, no date) established man as the conduit between the Apostles and the rest of humanity, which was inherently conveyed by way of architectural design of the time. Indeed, one might readily surmise that throughout this particular period, architecture illustrated mankind's role of divine interpretation, especially when exploring the vast and varied aspects of religious structures.

Aristotle & Plato on Art
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the attitudes of Plato and Aristotle toward art. The writer argues that while they both made the fundamental assumption that art is a form of mimesis, the imitative function that is inherent in all forms of art provoked Plato's disdain, but provoked Aristotle's curiosity. An examination of their views demonstrates that Aristotle carried his philosophy of art beyond the concepts put forth by Plato. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
