someone will say 'Hemingway didn't seem to have much of an education.' By this, I suppose, the academic critic
means Ernest hadn't taken his own formal academic drill. But as the philosophers themselves are aware, the artist
kind of knowing, call it intuition if you will, could yield a different kind of knowledge beyond rational
speculation. Anyway, Ernest read everything."
