Literary criticism requires one to look through, behind, beyond, underneath, and above the text. It requires skepticism, sensitivity to language, and a deep understanding of contextual issues. How might you apply the habits of the “well-tempered critic” to ordinary life? For example, is the news a literary text or a text that might be read critically? Is society a text? Are you yourself a text that might be scrutinized, “read,” and held up to critical inspection? Are the tools of the critic useful to business, ethics, family, work, and the self in society?
