Hey David, Matt, and all,
I've been having some major problems with this account recently, so forgive
me if I fall behind on these responses a bit....

I know what you're saying here David, but I don't think creativity is always
about rendering the "same truth" in new forms. While, no doubt, that is
sometimes the case, I think a belief in DQ implies a belief that the truth
can get better over time; and that therefore, one of the functions of the
creative must be to refresh the old forms by co-opting them to render newer
and higher quality revelations.
take care
rick
Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations,
the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various
forms which are essential to the work of art or poem. - Rollo May
