books to understand these matters.)"

No one can read all the books.  For a person to understand the entire
life of an Other  would require reading and understanding all its
experience - a parallel life-time.

As an alternative, the Other (Eric, Rod, Steve..or any List-member) reads,
understands, communicates:

1) theme and arguments of the book's author
2) a personal evaluation of (1)

IMHO, that would be the modus operandi for helping each other understand the
text of "Le Differend",

Call it the "First Round".

If other books and other authors are to be discussed, defer that discussion
until the "Second Round".

cheers,
Hugh
