And erratum: I wrote Harold when I meant Allan. ane pixestoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750266230259761680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17586860.post-27880106554203626052013-11-06T23:16:46.863-05:002013-11-06T23:16:46.863-05:00"Private" and "blinded" are en..."Private" and "blinded" are entirely relevant here.

I was listening to an old recording of Harold Bloom last night in which (citing his book) he says that talk of values without addressing whether something is good or evil is a terrible problem. From this, we might take the idea that without directly addressing the idea that there are lies in communication, we cannot effectively address meta communication. This post shows so well what goes wrong when words serve not the purpose of the co- that is shared by all, but private and so blinded.<br />It also brought to mind Heraclitus - fragment one, about the truth being one but inexperienced men make trials of words and deeds. And fragment 49, that philosophers must be learned in many different things. ane pixestoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750266230259761680noreply@blogger.com
