"I鈥檓 going to finish it, but it鈥檚 not really thrilling. Not that a book needs to be thrilling. It鈥檚 satire that tends towards earnestness when it doesn鈥檛 have a bead trained on anything in particular. Also conveys some real pathos, I think. It flirts with thrilling elements, which is good. More meditative, though." Aug 13, 2022 09:29AM

“The notion of literature as only one of several avenues to a single type
of propositional knowledge is, of course, hardly the winning ticket in lit-crit today. More typical are sentiments that see such a notion as not even admissible, if at all desirable. The world of these academic refuseniks is, however, a bleak and sterile place. Disarmed by their own epistemic fiat, scholars cannot assert anything since they deny the idea of objective rationality. If they arrive at an insight whose truth they wish to defend 鈥� for example that truth and rationality are pass茅 鈥� they can鈥檛 do so because truth and rationality are constructed to be constructed.”
Peter Swirski, Of Literature and Knowledge: Explorations in Narrative Thought Experiments, Evolution, and Game Theory

Jacques Derrida
“What must a text be if it can, by itself in a way, turn itself in order to shine again, after an eclipse, with a different light, in a time that is no longer that of its productive source (and was it ever contemporaneous with it?), and then again repeat this resurgence after several deaths, counting, among several others, those of the author, and the simulacrum of a multiple extinction?”
Jacques Derrida, Margins of Philosophy

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Every other science presupposes intelligence as already existing and complete: the philosopher contemplates it in its growth, and as it were represents its history to the mind from its birth to its maturity.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Biographia Literaria: Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life & Opinions

“Of course, I tried to surround myself with other people like me whose dream of writing was a constant burden....”
Gerard Olson

Bernard J.F. Lonergan
“To demand the absolute and to be content with absolutely nothing else results in a skepticism.”
Bernard Lonergan
