>meaningless sentences, self-contradictory sentences, and scientifically false sentences To provide a little explanatory context here, the humanities has always had a great deal more tolerance for bad writing than other fields. Kant introduced the main point of his Critique of Judgment in a footnote. Hegel loved self-contradictory sentences. Somebody like Heraclitus writes a lot of stuff that, if perhaps not meaningless, certainly looks meaningless. I don't know what that says about the entire history of philosophy, but anyway, it does say something about a small group's willingness to publish something that had some shitty prose.
