I'm trying to nail down Percy's philosophy, since it's seems we lost him
before he could do so himself in the complete manner the proposed CONTRA
GENTILES would have. Of course, I'm spending most of my time feeling like
an incredible imposter. But, I think that's the point when Percy says,
"You might as well write--what have you got to lose?"
Recently, the list has provided a welcomed distraction. However, in
the midst of everyone's very eloquent and lucid comments regarding all matters
modern and post-modern, I keep thinking of Tom Moore as the maculate Christ,
saying, "y'all help me," knowing they would, and that they would love each
other, because they loved him.
I tend to see WP as having gotten beyond all this Po-Mo BS, ironically
pointing out that they more purveyors of such ideologies maintain that meaning
is relative, that there is no truth, etc., the more rabidly such folks
assert their ideologies as the only truth and their non-meaning as the only
meaning, thereby shooting themselves in the philosophical foot.
In any case, good to hear from all, and particularly you, Jim. Your
wryness and self-deprecation is always fresh air.
