Yes, that looks about right, although the statements of no particular
allegiance were not completely honest. The editors had a definitely
conservative political bent, except perhaps A. Ramos may have a libertarian
of sorts but also pro-capitalist. D.G. Myers was not openly advertising his
Zionist views until he started to advertise them, and that was pretty bad.

According to https://www.andreas.com/phil-lit/
"PHIL-LIT was created on March 3, 1994, to accompany Philosophy and
Literature, the interdisciplinary journal published by Whitman College and
Johns Hopkins University Press. It was started by Denis Dutton, the editor
of Philosophy and Literature, and D. G. Myers of Texas A&M University. In
September 1995, Stephen Ogden of Simon Fraser University took over for a
two-year term; and in July 1997, Andreas Ramos became the principal
day-to-day administrator. Together the four developed PHIL-LIT as an
electronic symposium devoted to the same sort of topics covered by the
journal: philosophical interpretations of literature, literary
investigations of classic works of philosophy, the aesthetics of
literature,
philosophy of language relevant to literature, and the theory of criticism.
Like the journal, PHIL-LIT owes allegiance to no particular school or style
of criticism or philosophy.
Subscriptions to Philosophy and Literature cost $22 a year."

Subject: [lit-ideas] Wikipedia catches up
List members who came to Li-Ideas from a predecessor (does a prohibition on
mentioning its name still exist, I wonder?) may (if they have long
memories)
remember that 'orreries' were once a topic of discussion. (Does anyone have
a clue as to how long ago that was?)
'Today's [or perhaps yesterday's or tomorrow's, depending on the reader's
time zone] featured picture' on Wikipedia features an orrery, and comments:
"A PHILOSOPHER LECTURING ON THE ORRERY is a painting by Joseph Wright of
Derby depicting a lecturer giving a demonstration of an orrery to a small
audience. The painting broke with tradition in depicting the awe produced
by
scientific 'miracles', while previous artistic depiction of such wonder was
reserved for religious events."
The commentary fails to mention the date of the painting, which is found
when one follows the link to the painting itself: circa 1766.
