[KS] Re: More on HKT

[Frank Hoffmann]

I think the authorship of Hô Kyun isn't established with much 
certainty, is it? Or the other way around, has the Korean scholarship 
of the last 20 years or so found more evidence that he actually is 
the author of _Hong Kil-tong chôn_?

What is your definition of "radical" and "a radical interpretation"? 
If I go with Adorno and Horkheimer, radical simply means true, not 
compromising in what we understand to be true. But "radical 
interpretation" confuses me.
