Phenix<\/a> is actually part of the University of Puget Sound\u2019s 1964 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsound.edu\/news-and-events\/arts-at-puget-sound\/about-lectures-endowed-lectur\/brown-haley-past-lectures\/\">Brown &amp; Haley lectures<\/a>, a series that has been going on since 1953, though over the past 10 years it has become bi-annual. If the sponsors, Brown &amp; Haley, sound familiar to you, it\u2019s probably because they\u2019re the inventors of Almond Roca and are located right here in Tacoma.<\/p>\n<p>This specific lecture contains three parts: \u201cBeing and Becoming Human,\u201d \u201cBeing and Becoming Related,\u201d and \u201cBeing and Becoming Oneself.\u201d It explores the age-old question of human nature and its development through a multitude of approaches, including the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. Phenix postulates that no one of these studies can construct a complete understanding of human nature, and on their own can only offer partial understanding. Combining physical (body), behavioral (mind), and artistic (spirit) approaches is the best way to get close to what Phenix calls the \u201cwhole truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though this lecture is over 50 years old, it offers an interesting synthesis of multiple fields to form a moderately cohesive philosophy of human nature. Though to be honest, I\u2019m just happy to have stumbled across another publication that came from our university.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pugetsound.edu\/academics\/academic-resources\/collins-memorial-library\/archives\/\">Archives &amp; Special Collections<\/a> is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:00-3:00 p.m. or by appointment.<\/p>\n<p><em>By Morgan Ford<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So there\u2019s been a new little green book sitting on our shelf for months that I hadn\u2019t quite gotten an opportunity to look at until now.
