PARTtSAN REVIEW
damental sense that we speak of radicalism in connection with the crea–
"tive and critical mind, in the sense that it strives constantly both to con–
nect and to detach itself from things as they are. In this respect, as T. S.
Eliot observed, every new idea and work of art-not necessarily great,
"but genuine-is a criticism of the past. And of intellectuals generally
it might be said that they must dissociate themselves from certain as–
pects of their society and their culture because they are morally com–
pelled to relate themselves to ideal rather than to existing ways of
life. Surely, it doesn't take a revolutionist to be critical of the fact that
those who advocate the spread of culture usually do not object to
watering it down
in
the process, or of the fact that young talent out–
side the popular market has a hard time steering a course between
the old academicism and a new bohemianism that sounds like
Rim–
baud operating out of Madison Avenue.
The issues have been so clouded that nothing can
be
taken for
granted. Under these circumstances, the restatement of what might
properly be assumed becomes a revolutionary act. But I suppose the
situation must continue so long as the establishment in America is torn
between its loyalty to traditional standards and ideals and its stakes in
an egalitarian culture. Hence it is safe to predict that the intellectual
merry-go-round will go on.
