I won’t add too much to what I said in response to that Sontag/Paglia post originally, beside that I also admire Sontag’s tormented moralism-aestheticism, her quest to figure out how to do something like a European humanism without the first principles so much of that stuff derived from is admirable (if open to the critique you lodge that maybe in the end just *being* a good person is more vital than thinking about what that means.) I’ve been delinquent in keeping up with MA, maybe I’ll catch up this week.
