Death of the critic

[Terrance F. Flaherty]

 My point was about the hammering out of masterful
literature.
 Literary/critical--like Snow White? Just a joke! We have a
fundamental
 difference of opinion here, it has been here before, I am
fond of distinctions
 of  kinds, not that they don't inform each other, for
example, Philosophers and
 Poets may argue from time to time (and it's very important
to see when they
 argue and why--when distinctions are eased or removed), but
Philosophers barrow
 from Poets and Poets barrow from Philosophers like teenage
girls barrow clothes.


Our disagreement on this subject opens to other even more
fundamental differences. This is due to the fact that both
of our positions are shared by others today and have been
debated, not as some would have it, recently-- PostModern,
but in every century since Aristotle, Plato, The Sophists,
and Democritus-each representing a school of thought, argued
theirs.

Terrance-with a can of worms.
