Of course (it occurs to me) I could easily attribute it all to Divine Providence - both the placing of the rose and any prominence readings I glean from my studies. God meant it to be there! Hey!I'm just a humble observer of Divine Intention! But I think that it would be intellectually dishonest if I don't really believe that.....and I don't. I do wonder if this convenient approach is used to paper over some pretty wide cracks in scholarship, but to me it seems a form of immense arrogance to subborn the Almighty into one's intellectual pursuits.
How can we attribute intention? I think this problem will run and run...
About Me
- Hypatia
- No longer doing some sort of PhD on some sort of topic at an English university, no longer posting on the doctoral process and matters arising therefrom, but trying to write to re-orientate my life whilst still rowing and coxing, still trying to enjoy art, iconography, books and life in general.
