Literature Fables Ends

More From Joseph Joubert

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. to teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. the child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

In pakistan, many of the young people read novels because in the novels, not just my novels but the novels of many other pakistani writers, they encounter ideas, notions, ways of thinking about the world, thinking about their society that are different. and fiction functions in a countercultural way as it does in america and certainly as it did in the, you know, '60s.

Society is the stage on which manners are shown; novels are the literature. novels are the journal or record of manners; and the new importance of these books derives from the fact, that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface, and treat this part of life more worthily.
