i have forever been fascinated by the deductive inductive, adductive abductive tension in all forms of human endeavour, in all forms of human expression. maybe we can explore this i thought. The labelling may change. UNL itself issues out of this tension in natural lg.

pace postmodernists, there is a lot of essentialism and deductivism in lg and atleast some deductivism in literature. Science we would like to think is universal and so is morality. There is some sort of deductive bedrock to literature, i would like to think. These are off-the-cuff remarks
