We are left with an air of optimistic skepticism toward writings such as Sacks', which I feel is the proper vantage point to view them from.<BR/><BR/>In this last reading of his work, I couldn't help but think about Weber and all of the ethics articles that we read about Sacks this week. I couldn't shake the feeling that Bennett was somehow being exploited behind the scenes. There were shades of this in the chapter itself as well. The language he used to describe the way in which Bennett delivered his lectures seemed to evoke the freak show idea we were reading about this week. "Hey look everyone, isn't it odd that he must lecture lying down?! What a strange case, no?"<BR/><BR/>But overall, I still feel that it is achieving the goal that even the critics conceded to it: giving the voiceless people a voice, letting their stories be told to further educate the populace with regards to their conditions. And to this end, I am optimistic.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647015939791428116noreply@blogger.com
