I like how in this you noticed those often times overlooked qualities that are in ideas, in language and in the essential storytelling elements that the book has. And so I can sense your intention about how they even converged into something more special than what some other works do offer. And yet indeed exactly what the effect is, how it'd be best described as.. well after listening to this, such is a little on the nose for me too. I think you've definitely got many of the elements out, concerning aesthetics and the position of one having the omniqualities, yet honestly I'm curious to what would give it a sense of being more cinched and formal.. And that isa struggle I all too often have, that of conveying the most concise words on behalf of the essences of a matter, or especially of manners. For what are essences for? Essences are what I, or another, can sense, refer to and infer about.. And yet also meanings, ends and even cycles are intertwined with particular aspects of certain essences. Perhaps it's all too slippery for me when I cannot feel too assured about affixing categories into absolution.. Yet I'm not one to let any and all doubts get the better of me. Anyway your video makes me want to get the book asap, and so one day maybe after enough pondering I'll have a more precise idea for myself and know even more to what you were suggesting here than what I have yet gleaned. - YQA
I understand all of this comment - but stay tuned. I plan on doing a few vids on this book, and one of the things I want to mention in the next episode is how it may happen that stories are *not* reducible - in other words they are already stated as clearly as possible. This is why (I suspect) many of the best novelists never really wrote coherent philosophical treatises. I used to think I would love to read Melville or Dostoevsky on metaphysics or epistemology… but maybe they made the right choice only demonstrating these ideas in their fictions.
@@GodwardPodcast Sounds very interesting I'll be tuned for it 😁 I like that btw, literature itself often times says much more than the mechanics that philosophy is often fixed to 👐🏾
art can't be suppressed or subjugated for the sake of something else (just like the spirit should not be) but rather when it is its naked self it's naturally wonderful.
I absolutely love what you're saying at around 9:00. I definitely feel shame for some of the more like vulnerable things I said in the past and I sometimes wish I could momentarily bury myself for an hour or so but yeah.. I guess it's partially also due to the declining societal spirit and maybe in a more optimistic and authentic age, this wouldn't be that hard. I don't know if we are speaking of the same thing but that was what came to mind
