Kaleidoscopic Structuralism

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 2:10 pm

The previous post suggests two quotes by Elizabeth Janeway 
from her review of the second volume of The Human Predicament ,
an unfinished trilogy by Richard Hughes.

"The Human Predicament  poses a universal question, and Hughes
is grappling with it really as a structuralist  philosopher."

"Hughes's style is kaleidoscopic , the shaking of vivid moments together
until a pattern emerges." 

— The New York Times Book Review Sunday, August 19, 1973, page 2

For a less literary example of kaleidoscopic structuralism, see
a Log24 post from the first anniversary of Janeway's reported death.
