[QUOTE="Malika, post: 555836, member: 11227"] Yeah, well, I'm going to err on the side of caution. I don't have a good feeling about this, even though I actually feel he may not have a leg to stand on. I am NOT going to give an overview of his work but give an account of my own understanding of the subject, which may well coalesce with some of his insights but that is also the nature of ideas. There is nothing truly new under the sun. I will not use any of the specific vocabulary he has coined. At the end I may still refer to him and quote one of his books, which is in the public domain. We are supposed to be friends of his but one might say that with friends like that, who needs enemies. It's all quite sad, I feel, because his ego is this great flaw that prevents his work having wider impact - and, as I say, the work is brilliant and truthful. [/QUOTE]
