Theotokos:

a title of the Virgin Mary as the Mother of the incarnate Son of God.

 

Faust's Gretchen:
major female character in Goethe’s Faust.  After his pact with the Devil, Faust meets Gretchen (also known as Margarete). He is attracted to her.  With Mephistopheles' aid, Faust seduces her. Gretchen's mother dies from a sleeping potion given by Gretchen to obtain privacy so that Faust can visit her. She discovers she is pregnant. Her brother condemns Faust, challenges him only to fall dead at the hands of Faust & Mephistopheles. Gretchen drowns her illegitimate child & is convicted of murder. Faust tries to save her from hanging by freeing her from prison.  She refuses. Mephistopheles & Faust flee while voices from Heaven announce that Gretchen shall be saved (which differs from the harsher ending of Urfaust: "she is condemned.")

 

Isis with Horus:

Isis is first mentioned in the Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BC), one of the main characters of the Osiris myth; she resurrects her slain husband, the divine king Osiris, and produces and protects his heir, Horus.  It is the most elaborate & influential story in ancient Egyptian mythology.  Osiris, a primeval king of Egypt, is murdered by his brother Set, who usurps the throne.  Osiris's wife Isis restores her husband's body, allowing him to posthumously conceive a son with her:  Horus.  This child is initially vulnerable & is protected by his mother Isis; eventually he becomes Set's rival for the throne. Their often violent conflict ends with Horus's triumph, restoring order in Egypt after Set's unrighteous reign and completing the resurrection of Osiris.

 

kinesis:

translated from Greek as movement, motion, or in some contexts change; kinetic energy.  Potentiality and actuality are principles of a dichotomy which Aristotle used to analyse motion; actuality, in contrast to potentiality, is the motion, change or activity that represents an exercise or fulfilment of a possibility, when a possibility becomes real in the fullest sense.

 

kinema:

inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth; potential energy.  The concept of potentiality (in Aristotle’s discussion) generally refers to any "possibility" that a thing can be said to have.  He did not consider all possibilities the same, and emphasized the importance of those that become real of their own accord when conditions are right and nothing stops them.

Egyptian administration (and care): * see Endnote 21

Egyptain paternalism is reflected in the role of the pharaohs especially after the collapse of the Old Kingdom.  He was always responsible for maintaining Maat, which embodied concepts of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality & justice.  A legacy of the first Intermediate period was greater state paternalism as this aspect of kingship became much stronger.  As well as this feature, we can see strong state paternalism in the agrarian economy, control & distribution of wealth.

Chou dynasty (and care): * see Endnote 22

(aka Zhou dynasty) state paternalism is evident during this dynasty, in agriculture, in the large scale state directed projects and in philosophy.  Land, the source of all wealth, was state owned and it was only after the decay of the Chou dynasty that private ownership became common.

 

Chou Li: * see Endnote 23

(aka Liu Xin) (50 BC- 23 AD) Chinese historian, librarian & politician during the Western Han & Xin Dynasties; son of Confucian scholar Liu Xiang (77- 6 BC) & associate of other prominent thinkers such as the philosopher Huan Tan.  He founded the Old Text school of Confucianism.  He wrote The Rites of Zhou, a work on bureaucracy & organizational theory.  It is one of the 3 ancient ritual texts (the "Three Rites") listed among the classics of Confucianism.  The book states that the ruler does not create the state, but merely organizes a bureaucracy.  Although it could not have been composed during the Western Zhou, it was probably based on Warring States period societies.
