Winnie the Pooh goes to Seminary

There are some typographical problems with New Directions in Pooh Studies ("fi" and "fl" are represented by oddball characters...a typesetting-related problem), but this is a delight otherwise. (Thanks to AKMA for the pointer.)

A sample:

Eeyore's wisdom is philosophical or speculative wisdom; he
thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself Why?, and sometimes he thought Wherefore?, and sometimes he thought Inasmuch as which?, and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about (W 4.39-40).
This is arguably the best account that has ever been given of the nature of philosophical thought. [New Directions in Pooh Studies]

A final note for readers: check the footnotes. Posted by ronlusk at November 8, 2003 07:03 AM
