Yet another "another"

[Eric Yost]

Paul: Brown was primarily a literary personage--like Pynchon--not a 
philosopher or scientist.   Once Brown realized this, he dropped the 
footnotes (to connect with another post).

Eric: Yet some philosophers too--Nietzsche is a good example--go 
from writing in a conventional style to a more condensed and 
aphoristic style. My hunch is that the change of emphasis from 
careful exposition to aphorism shows a growing respect for paradox. 
The architecture of "horizontal" rhetoric becomes less important 
than the "vertical" range of a particular insight.
