Definitely an interesting discussion! Another proverbial layer would be the meta-writing by Lajos Egri, who posited that characters and plot are the same thing.
Ah! Aristotle (and Pigliucci) have things to teach even us English majors and bloggers! (And movie-makers bent on impressing us with spectacular special effects, too.) Thanks, Massimo.
Enjoyed this immensely. The point you make regarding the discarding of the humanities in favor of STEM studies is on target. Just look at what is happening in Florida!
