What is most disturbing about Sontag's approach (and why it finally fails) is his narrow and almost blind reliance upon the descriptions of human experience at its extremities provided by the existentialist psychologists and existentialist literature. It is, of course, not to be denied that these psychologists and writers do provide us with insights into human nature. But one must insist that they are not the only source of such insights. Whatever insights they offer must be judged in relation to other (perhaps conflicting) insights provided by other psychologists, writers, and philosophers, together with the evidence marshalled to support the views. A future metaphysics (if it is to be other than arbitrary) will require this more comprehensive basis.
