Herberg Attempts to Define Humanness

Of Man in Three World View Contexts

(Will Herberg, well known auth-
or of Judaism & Modern Man,
and Protestant, Catholic, Jew de-
livered the second in 4 series of
once-a-month lectures under the

tion on Sunday, November 20th at
8 p.m. in Goodhart. Mr. Herberg,
a Graduate Professor of Judaic
Studies and Social Philosophy at
Drew University, spoke on “The
Self and History; Development of

 

Individual Perspective.”

“Im terms of what context does
man try to understand and achieve
his humanness?” was the question
Mr. Herberg answered in terms)
of the “three world views, (1) the
heathen-naturalistic view, (2) the
philosopohical - eternalistic view,
and (8) the Biblical-historistic
view.”

“In the heathen - naturalisitc
view,” the ultimate context of self-
understanding is nature, which is
conceived as divine. But, it must
be noted, there is no sense of his-|
tory in this view. “There is no
distinctiom between man’s time and
mature’s time.” Self experience is
a “wrongness,” a deviation from
nature,

“Heathen” in the speaker’s sense
has perennial existence. Its mod-
ern manifestations include (1) ro-
mantic heathenism, “the feeling
that one comes close to divinity
by, for instance, seeing buds pop-
ping from the trees,” as in the
romantic nature-worship of Words-
worth, (2) the mysticism of the
dark powers of nature, as in D. Hi.
Lawrence, and (3) scientific nat-
uralism, the philosophy that “man

adjusting to his environment.” All
these modern manifestations can
be traced back to their “heathen-

tuat it is at personal moments in
waica taken-for-gran.ed concepts
take on a sense of unreality that
we grasp tae feeling of Existen-
tia.ism as a, way of seeing the
wor.d, It is at such moments that,
as Gloucester said in Shakespeare’s
King Lear, we “see feelingly” and
can practice the phenomenonolog-
ical art.

The second “view” of the under-
standing of humanness has its or-
igins in Athens, or, perhaps Can-
aan, It resembles, yet breaks
from, the heathen tradition, for
nature, although it is important
as a pattern of eternal recurrence,
is now only an external vesture of
reality.
Plato’s distinction between ap-
pearance and reality is essential to
this view. The understanding of
self here becomes very different
from that of the heathen view;. in

Aleidas, Al Petraske was beauti-
fully unctuous and. he undenplayed
his part well. All the actors ob-
viously enjoyed their réles and suc-
ceeded in infecting the audience
with their good humor,

The setting was simple and well
conceived. I particularly appreci-
ated the four doors which recap-
tured the multiple entrances of
the “commedia dell’arte”. The di-
rectors are further to be compli-
mented on the rapid pace of the
