QUOTE : Many a novel or play written in 1930, which seemed "brutally realistic" then, now seems a little quaint and "unreal" in places, because we no longer live in the semantic environment of 60 years ago. Joyce's Ulysses escaped this trap by not having a point of view at all, at all — his multiple narrator technique gives multiple points of view — just as post-Copenhagen physicists escape it by what they call "model agnosticism," not accepting any one model as equal to the whole universe.
