In Reply to: Au contraire. The sociological insights ARE posted by tinear on December 23, 2003 at 12:03:17:
I briefly touched on a few points in another post in this complex of threads. I don't have time for much more, and I don't think you are really open enough to the possility of the Ring having some literary merit to make anything I might say plausible to you. LOTR has been said to be the most detailed depiction of a fantasy world in all of literature. It deals with the universal theme of the conflict between good and evil, and between love and the lust for power in the context of an imaginaary world described in incredible detail, complete with the characterization of another language. The metaphysical and ethical underpinnings are essentially Christian, rather than pagen, which yields some novel and interesting variations on the classic mythical themes. If you don't get off on it, hey thats ok with me. But there really is a great deal of literary and philosophical substance that you are missing. I hate to whip out any unverifiable credentials, but I say this as a professor of philosophy who has some capacity to recognize literature that is rich in philosophical content.
