Document Summary
More freedom concerning literary criticism and less concerning history: repetition of the last time. Term literary criticism: is not an assessment of literature. => academic discipline which gives us a survey of the disciplines of interpretation. => is not necessarily critical in the ordinary sense. Scholars are doing research about great art works: are doing academic research and do not judge. Different theories of truth: coherence vs. correspondence. => truth is found in the coherence between the data you take into account and already established knowledge. Do not say that there is no such thing as correspondence but it can never be tested. => both theories find themselves in the realm of truth. => teachers have to grade on the basis what is actually written down. When the student means well but can"t express it properly, he will be lowly graded. Example: judge know that the convict is guilty.
