Q&A #1: Question 2

My second question concerning the Nussbaum reading was whether or not the reader or audience play's a significant role in deciding what style to adopt when trying to convey an ethical truth? We discussed several times the notion that style and quality of writing is typically associated with a particular understanding of literature, one that is informed and educated. We also talked about how this understanding may not be available to the public at large, and thus certain styles or qualities in writing are reserved for those who can understand it. For Nussbaum she believes that there should be no specialization when trying to learn about "how one should live", as David stated she believes ethical studies is one that is "multi-criterial".  In ideal circumstances people would have access to both literature and academic treatises, meaning any person would have the faculty to appreciate and understand both forms of writing and probably other mediums in which an ethical truth can be conveyed.
