Mythicism and the Mainstream: The Rhetoric and Realities of Academic Freedom

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

But when it comes to the mythicism proffered by people whose knowledge of relevant languages, historical texts, ancient cultures, and other such data is minimal or non-existent, and whose works consist only of web pages and self-published books, scholars are under no obligation to waste their valuable time on such matters any more than on the countless other topics which web sites and self-published books address, and which a quick perusal shows to be bunk.
