Scott,
Scott said:
You may be interested that Coleridge sees bad philosophy (aka SOM) as coming about through what he calls "the despotism of the eye".
Matt:
I am interested, thank you. It gives me another clearly identified ally in the war against ocular metaphors.
More than just another name, though, I have been interested in getting to know Coleridge in particular, and the 19th-century Romantics more generally, given everything I've read of Rorty and Bloom. I've been doing some reading in those directions. I'm currently bouncing around M.H. Abrams' book "Natural Supernaturalism", which is just fantastic as a reading of Romanticism.
