ESSAYS
INTENTION
These essays have their source and inspiration in conversations with my
friends and teachers. The motive was to assess the conversation to date,
and to offer an invitation to another level. Their structure and style
reflect that desire. Little attempt has been made to remain within the
bounds of formal scholarship. I deeply respect the latter, but I am
attempting something else: a melding of taxonomy and oblique supporting
example.
Most commonly, publishers remark that they are original and interesting,
but not commercially viable in this form. I reflect - Two out of three
isn't bad!
I hope you find some worth and joy in them. Unsurprisingly, I would be
delighted to receive confirming examples from Readers. Please don't tell
me "It's more complicated than you think". Let me reassure you
that I would be only slightly less delighted to receive disconfirming
examples and truer taxonomies.
FORMAT
They are written in Arial - Word: left margin.
Other people's words are given in bold italics, unless stated - as in
Aphorisms Page.
REFERENCES
I am too old to plagiarise others. My desire & intention is to admit
all quotation: and to give a basic reference.
If I forget, please remind me: and of course correct misquotation and
mis-citation.
