Carving a legacy : the identity of Jacob Epstein (1880-1959)
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the efforts which were made during the life of Jacob Epstein and at the time his death to fix a particular identity that has thus shaped his legacy. The question that this thesis wishes to address is: how was Jacob Epstein's legacy carved?
The first part of this thesis, entitled 'Remembering Epstein', seeks to unpack and examine the written discourse surrounding his death. This will be done by assessing the themes, debates and considerations of Epstein's position in the history of art and will focus on four case studies: the obituaries and memorial pieces that were written immediately after Epstein's death; a memorial service that was held at St. Paul's Cathedral; a failed proposal
to tum Epstein's home studio into a museum; and the organisation and critical reception of the Epstein Memorial Exhibition held in Edinburgh in 1961. The second part of this thesis, entitled 'Writing a Legacy', attends to the analysis of texts which were written about or by Epstein throughout his career. This will be done through a close examination of those texts which have come to shape our understanding of Epstein's place in the history of art and will focus on five case studies: the writings of T. E. Hulme; Epstein by Bernard Van Dieren; a series of interviews with Epstein by Arnold Haskell, entitled The Sculptor Speaks; Epstein's role in protesting against repairs to ancient sculpture in the British Museum; and a chapter entitled 'My Place in Sculpture' from the 1954 edition of Epstein's autobiography. The final part of the thesis, entitled 'Selected Works', will focus on six separate sculptures as case studies for assessing different aspects of Epstein's artistic output. The works which
will be examined: The Rock Drill (1913), The Risen Christ (1917-19), Madonna and Child (1926-27), Genesis (1929), Albert Einstein (1933), and Madonna and Child (1950-52)
Telegram from Irving Flicker, with response from Eliahu Epstein, regarding the Israeli Government
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban, Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. Mayor Irving Flicker sent a telegram to the Jewish Agency for Palenstine, to congratulate the Israeli government on its recent independence, and on the recognition by the United States of Israel as an independent country. Eliahu Epstein, Representative of the Provincial Government of Israel, sent a reply telegram to Flicker, thanking him for his message and sending his regards to the Roosevelt Community. As a predominantly Jewish community, the establishment of Israel as an independent state was a significant event that connected Jersey Homestead citizens to the global Jewish community

Epstein\u27s Premises
No full textThis Article criticizes Richard Epstein\u27s argument that Congress should repeal Title VII expressed in his book Forbidden Grounds: The Case Against Employment Discrimination. The author\u27s criticisms of Epstein\u27s argument are the product of disagreement with some of Epstein\u27s premises, and disagreement with some of Epstein\u27s choices about where to stop his analyses. The author disputes Epstein\u27s premise that governmental intervention into otherwise accessible markets is justifiable only in cases of force or fraud. The author also notes some of Epstein\u27s empirical suppositions that are inconsistent with one another

Il contributo della metafisica analitica all’ontologia giuridica: Brian Epstein e Jonathan Schaffer
No full textThe essay analyses the contribution of contemporary analytical metaphysics to social and legal ontology. In particular, the focus is on two authors: Brian Epstein and Jonathan Schaffer. I discuss Epstein’s use of analytical metaphysics notions to explain the structure of social kinds and facts, providing a unique model based on three relations: grounding, anchoring, and framing (GAF). This model offers a new reading of the origin and nature of social entities and brings innovative arguments to the debate in legal ontology. Schaffer’s views represent a competing thesis, which can be included among the so-called conjunctivist theories. Epstein and Schaffer’s analyses converge in some respects and both theories approach social and legal ontology with new, fine-grained tools. However, I defend the epistemic and practical value of Epstein’s model. At the same time, I claim that it would bring more clarity to Epstein’s model if the framing relation was rejected. For this reason, I suggest considering a social reality model relying on the grounding-anchoring diagram alon
