[Xmca-l] Re: Much belated regards for Larry Purss

[David Kellogg]

Larry started me on M-P's aesthetic writings. I never really understood the
love of Cezanne, or what Cezanne had to do with phenomenological
astonishment. When I read M-P's lectures on child psychology I found them
rather naive and crude (particularly in his anthropology); it was almost as
if M-P was practicing phenomenological astonishment with Freud. I finally
gave up on M-P after "Humanism and Terror".

 But I much appreciated Larry's erudition, his gentle patience, and his own
unflagging devotion to M-P. I will miss them, as I have missed his
contributions to the list these two years.
