As some of us prepare for the HD Met live broadcast of "PARSIFAL", it may
do to review some of the arguments of one of the list's favourite
philosophers (as it were): B. Magee, in his interesting publications on this
(and
that).
I add Grice for good measure. Oddly, in the memoir on Grice by G.
Richardson, for "St. John's College" Records, one reads, "Grice thought Die
Meistersinger was for children" -- and, hey, Magee may agree!
Cheers,
Speranza
