  Wow.

  It's a wonderfully progressive idea, and I can't help but remember MSTU classes where J would *insist* that we dissect the flaws of THEORYNAMES, nevermind that we were undergrads, and nevermind that we might be inaccurate. It's the spirit of *questioning* that matters, not the dogmatic clinging to THEORISTNAME for all seasons.

I like the idea that we read in order to learn other possible ways of being.

But isn't this a throwback to New Crit?

Yes it is, actually! Everything ooooold is new again! It's just about enough of a time lapse, actually, for a once-popular-then-unfashionable school of thought to come back and be re-examined by new generations.

*am covering for the shameful fact that this is the first time I've heard it articulated*
