“Why are we always on the Defensive?”

In spite of contemporary theory, for this lecture we will assume that there are absolute truths.

It is possible to express absolute truth in texts although humanity is probably too flawed to do so.

For the purposes of this lecture it will be assumed that there are such things as privileged texts.

 People are correct to say that there are some texts which should not be bothered with in serious academic studies.  This has little to do with one’s likes and dislikes.  The choices should be made on standards of value which are without prejudice

...a type of literature that stresses the future and makes new inventions seem plausible--in some ways a literature of translation.  Dick Allen from Science Fiction: The Future.
