>"since I believe that every philosopher I've ever read is more or less muddled" (Cheerskep)
What about writers of cultural history (like Daniel Bell - where this discussion began) Have you ever made it through any books or essays without thinking "muddled -- way too muddled" -- and then moved on to something else? I admit that the entire genre does not appeal to me unless, like "From Dawn to Decadence" the book serves as an introduction/commentary on a number of historic writers. Concerning the history of "artists and the educated classes", I'd rather get that from novels and biographies. (am currently reading an amazing 1500 page novel about post-partition India: "A Suitable Boy" -- and hope I never finish) ____________________________________________________________ Hit it out of the park with a new bat.
