[Milton-L] historicism, formalism, etc. (Skulsky)

[alan horn]

"Are there really any difficulties with this "adequation" beyond the
standard skeptical how-can-we-really-know-anything trope?"

> Maybe not. But I'm arguing against that trope.

Perhaps I'm not following. I thought it constituted your objection to
the historicist account of understanding here:

"But clearly,
the contextual interpretanda are every bit as much in need of
contextualization-historicization as the primary one. Therefore, one would
have to perform the same interpretative operation for the contextual
interpretanda as one hopes to perform, with their help, for the primary. And
so on for whatever context one found for help with the context. This is an
infinite regress."
