	Greg Sandow -- The Fine Madness of Milton Babbitt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Babbitt is both too sensitive and too sensible to pretend that the "unverifiable" things aren't there or that 12-tone structure in itself could make anything worth hearing, but his unwillingness to talk about what music might mean makes his non-theoretical criticism oddly trivial.
		Babbitt likes to say that moments in his music can be memories of what came before, and presentiments of what is to come.
		Babbitt suggests a comparison to Joyce, and to modernism in general, but that just passes the buck to art, literature, science, and philosophy (and Joyce, anyway, has a strain of healthy vulgarity you'd have to go far to find in Babbitt, and even further to find in Charles Wuorinen or Elliott Carter).

		Babbitt alone among all of the great American thinkers of the golden age (Josiah Royce, C.S. Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and George Santayana) broke through the received modern philosophical discourse of reason and experience, and rehabilitated the imagination.
		Babbitt's statement that "the imagination itself is governed by words" is embedded in a discussion of the importance of making distinctions when there are genuine differences.

		Irving Babbitt (1865–1933) was an American academic and literary critic, noted for his founding role in a movement that became known as the New Humanism, a significant influence on literary discussion and conservative thought in the period 1910 to 1930.
		At the time Babbitt had switched out of classics; he would later clarify his position on the contemporary textual and philological scholarship demanded in that area, in the Germanic tradition, as a finite task, which he was unhappy to see placed above teaching based on 'eternal' content.
		Some relationship has been traced between Babbitt and Gordon Keith Chalmers, Walter Lippmann, Louis Mercier, Austin Warren; claims in cases where such influence are not acknowledged are not easy to sustain, and Babbitt was known to advise against public tributes.
