Stanley Fish Reviewing and Defending

Tony Jones has pointed to a post by Stanley Fish and a follow-up by the same. The irony for some will be that Tony is pointing to Fish as Fish critics the left. I write that because it is summarily believed that Tony is a “liberal” despite the fact he references Nicea and Calcedon as orhtodox expressions of belief. Since those who cast labels get to define them, maybe Tony is a liberal. But, what I have learned from reading Zizek, among others, is we are in desperate need of not just critiquing the right and the left but finding a way forward. If we simply assume there is no forward then maybe we simply need to consider ourselves with “No Exit” and leave well enough alone.

    I think that too often we find ourselves in arguments over beliefs when we are looking to be “right” rather than be in “relationship”. Leonard Sweet wrote a book along those lines and I think there is great wisdom if we would embrace that concept.

  2. Bruce,
    I think you are spot on.
