Cognitive Metaphors of the Mind in the Canterbury Tales

The paper presents an analysis of a number of cognitive metaphors pertaining to the concept of mind (e.g. sanity and insanity), heart, and fire. The study has been based on the text of Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The paper contains a short theoretical introduction and a discussion of different linguistic and psychological approaches to issues related to figurative and literal, conventional language use. The analytical part focuses on the detailed contextual study of the cognitive metaphorical concepts. It is argued that many apparently similar concepts can evoke semantically conflicting metaphors, while concepts that appear to be mutually exclusive can sometimes evoke common associations and thereby similar metaphors

The Reality of Fear: Preaching in a Frightened World

Fear is a recurrent theme in today’s popular culture. Film director Steven Spielberg’s lifelong work presents the full range from awe and fear to terror, heading towards a deeply humanist approach of overcoming fear.

The gospel provides numerous paradigm scenarios of courage and vision

Augustine\u27s Doctrine of Original Sin in Two Anti-Pelagian Writings

Thus the thesis will concentrate on two of Augustine\u27s writings: (1) Contra Julianum Pelagianum, in which he refutes the Pelagian bishop Julian, who had denied original sin; (2) De Peccato Originali, in which Augustine amplifies his position on this important teaching. The purposes in studying those particular works are, first of all, to ascertain the main features of Augustine\u27s doctrine of original sin and, secondly, to study Augustine\u27s use of the early Church Fathers in support of this doctrine
