[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1.
lilrabbi has left a new comment on your post "Ideas Have Consequences, citation #1":
It is a misunderstanding of culture to think that one person can be 'multi-cultural'. You have the culture given to you. You are a product of it. While a culture in the orient may have some positive elements, I can't partake. They are not mine. To think I can is the lie of Popular Culture.
Multi-Culturism is a farce. Popular Culture is a substitute culture. Culture isn't something you can put on like a new coat. Popular Culture asks us to do just that.
Eliot's "Varieties of Metaphysical Poetry" provides a good picture of this thinking. His "Christianity and Culture" is a more straightforward about things.
