Arts, Imagination & Philosophy
Welcome to the Apollo Home Page
(Please note that since this website has moved some of the music links are not yet working fully)
The purpose of the Apollo Page, named after the god of music, law and medicine, is to bring together resources for anyone interested in the philosophy of the arts of the imagination, ranging from ancient philosophies of all cultures to modern theories of the imagination and hermeneutics. Its central themes will be metaphysics, myth, poetics and music and their place in civilization.
The site is divided into five main parts. 1. Essays and quotations of high quality which can be downloaded. 2. Links with other web sites with good related resources. 3. Information about lectures, courses and events, usually in the UK. 4. Bibliographies and information or short reviews of publications in the field. 5. Poetry and music sections.
There is a discussion list called Ontos where scholars and anyone interested can explore art, philosophy, myth and music and their place in civilization. To subscribe to this list go to http://www.eGroups.com/ontos When you have submitted your request to subscribe you will receive an e-mail message asking you to give a brief description of your interests and why you wish to subscribe. You should not be put off by this request. It is simply a way of making sure that members are genuinely interested.
I look forward to building a community of thought from which we can all learn from one another. This page was last updated on 28th September 2002.

Essay Collection
The Essay Collection brings together a wide variety of essays from different sources on philosophy and the arts. It is a continually expanding collection. I intend to include some important texts on Indian philosophy and religion.
Included so far is a letter of Marsilio Ficino on Divine Frenzy, a paper on Shakespeare's Hamlet, which was given to the Temenos Academy and is published in Hamlet Studies (Vol. 18, Nos 1 & 2, 1996), an essay on Music and Number and a translation of Ficino's De Sole, and one essay by Swami Ghanananda on manas and consciousness.
