General Earwa / [TUC Spoilers] Tolkien & Eucatastrophe
« on: December 08, 2017, 05:45:47 pm »
Alright, who is holding out? How come I've never heard this brought up in relation to Bakker's writing before.
This is just one of many, many articles I've suddenly discovered - I have previously read Tolkien's On Fairy Stories a number of times, though pre-TUC.
How come no one has ever asked Bakker a question about this?
Eucatastrophe, Discatastrophe and the destruction of the Ring

Scroll about halfway down for the English translation.

Cognitive bias cheat sheet - Because thinking is hard.
A must read for all Bakker fans, though Bakker himself seems to have firmly moved onto his philosophic Heuristic Neglect Theory.
