PUBLICATIONS Anti-Heroes as Free Spirits: Nymphets & Paradoxical Madness 2014 Clayton Universitys Philosophical Journal Nietzsche describes free spirits as people who have embraced freedom of the will and experienced great liberation from the pillars of society such as religion, morality, government, etc. I propose that the anti-heroes, Humbert Humbert from Vlamdir Nabokovs Lolita and John Yossarian from Joseph Hellers Catch-22 can be compared to Nietzsches description of a free spirit in that they reject their cultures maxims. The Message of Platonic Myth and the Birth of a Modern Mythology 2014 Georgia Southern Universitys Undergraduate Philosophical Journal Borrowing from the Platonic Dialogues Phaedrus & Republic, I argue that modern America tells its mythologies through film, and these myths are dysfunctional because the messages they convey are to search for pleasures that feed the souls appetites, rather than elevating the soul to search for higher truth.
