 JAC Online: 13.1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Stanley Fish, as most readers of JAC will be aware, has written a number of essays on professionalism that delineate its habits and discontents.
Fish's case for professionalism seems to me a bracing and useful corrective to the self-images currently available within literary studies, whether the traditional image of the custodian of culture or the insurgent image of the cultural critic.
Fish helps us see that institutionalized practices and professional vocabularies are not "iron cages" that channel a genuine love of literature into the distorting grooves of expertise but are themselves enabling fictions, a local rhetoric made up to get some work done.

 NATIONAL REVIEW: FEATURE ARTICLE Harvey C. Mansfield on Stanley Fish February 7, 2000
Fish is a cleverish fellow, and he invites cleverishness in return.
When Fish says, "I historicize reason," he does not mean, "I twist it to mean what I want." Although he exposes liberal toleration as a cover for coercion and exclusion, he himself has no program for repression and extermination.
Fish is stuck in a context, he says, but somehow, despite all his talk of being embedded and situated, he thinks he is on top of the world.

 The Volokh Conspiracy - Stanley Fish is an Originalist.--   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Stanley Fish has a well-written and interesting op-ed in the NY Times.
While Fish says there is no alternative to looking to the intent of the author, there is an alternative, indeed, what might seem to be a better alternative: looking to the intent of the enactors, signers, and ratifiers.
OK, so Fish might be willing to accept that move, perhaps by revising the idea of the "author" to mean not the author of the language but rather the enactors of the statute or Constitutional provision.

 Fish Oil May Aid Against Manic Depression
Fish oil is especially high in omega-3 fatty acids, a family of long-chained polyunsaturated fats that have been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and other health benefits.
The Harvard study was the first significant scientific look at the effects of fish oil and its fatty acids on manic depression--which is estimated to affect between 1 and 2 percent of Americans at some point in their lives.
Stoll said he stumbled across fish oil as a possible treatment of manic depression when he surveyed the literature on compounds with effects similar to traditional drugs such as lithium and valproate.

 Rob Toonen - Fish Nutrition .... #reefs Article www.reefs.org
A buddy of mine is a fish parasitologist at the University of British Columbia who volunteers with a veterinarian (DVM, PhD in fish disease at Guelph) at a couple of public aquaria to do autopsies on dead fish.
Aside from the fatty liver "disease," fatty acid deficiencies in fishes have been shown to result in reduced growth, higher percentages of muscle tissue water, liver degeneration, higher susceptibility to bacterial infection, and a decrease of hemoglobin in the blood cells among other nutritional problems (such as hair loss in mammals).
However, freshwater fishes may contain slightly higher amounts of the B vitamins in general, and it is also possible that feeding marine predators entirely on feeder guppies could O.D. them on biotin as well -- it depends on the biotin composition of feeder guppies and goldfish (which they didn't know).

 Althouse: Stanley Fish's bad analogy about Scalia's constitutional interpretation.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Stanley Fish has a NYT op-ed that's supposed to wise us up to the rhetoric of constitutional interpretation that's about to flow all around us:
Fish tries to debunk the conventional terminology, and reaches a conclusion that I think most legal academics would agree with: it's not the interpretative methodology you say you're following that matters, but where that methodology really takes you in particular cases.
Fish too is wrong in that the real justification of textualism/originalism is NOT that it is correct, but that its use has the least amount of danger present for meddling by unaccountable policy-makers (or Justices in this case).

 Darwin Fish: The FAQ
Darwin Fish insists this too is a false accusation, citing as proof a list of his own tapes that he has withdrawn from circulation.
Despite Darwin Fish's bold claims that he speaks as a "pastor," he is actually an excommunicated layman who remains under the discipline of the church he attended before he founded his own cult.
For Darwin Fish to latch onto that brief closing remark and publish it as a formal endorsement of him as a pastor or suggest that it represents John MacArthur's official "recognition" of his factious ministry style only reveals how far outside the boundaries of truth Darwin is willing to go to establish a false credibility.

A healthy fish can remain buoyant and level with minimum movement of the pectoral and anal fins, and the fins themselves are intact with no debris or loose scales showing.
These fish are active hunters, and will pursue food items, they are however not overly aggressive feeders, and will be out competed by aggressive triggers, psuedos, and tangs.

Fish has made a career out of little sensationalisms (for example, the quip about his becoming a literary critic in order to become rich....how could anyone take that seriously?) He is an incredibly smart reader, however -- a great critic.

 Tightly Wound: If it weren't for Stanley Fish, my blood pressure would be normal
Enter Stanley Fish, an academic whose most admirable quality nowadays seems to be the ability to remain in the limelight by co-opting any current issue and turning it into a discussion about sliding signifyers, while simultaneously urging everyone past post-modernism.
Just like all the programs Fish lauds as champions of the leftist cause are politically tainted: it's a fact of life, and something that Horowitz understands the universities will wrestle with themselves--my criticism of Horowitz here is with the "pie-in-the-sky-everyone-will-be-rational" idea of academic debate.

Eric Tam wrote a thoughtful letter to me to say he thought a better comparison for Fish's arguments was with Michael Oakeshott, not Aristotle, and that perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that Fish would take this position.
Fish might (or might not, I guess I'm not going to argue that today) have a point that the methods Sokal used to demonstrate that were inappropriate.
But what Fish is articulating are good general rules and, in my opinion, would represent a vast improvement over what goes on all too frequently.

 JAC Online: 12.2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Another reason for Fish's influence in rhetoric and composition is his continued interest in and support of composition.
The difference, in Fish's view, is that the first is an attempt to teach students a "theoretical" perspective in the hopes that they can then apply that perspective to particular situations--something that just cannot happen, according to Fish.
It may seem something of a paradox that Stanley Fish, who argues so vociferously against theory, is becoming more influential in composition studies precisely at a time when the field, or at least part of it, is busily engaged in theory building.

 FT November 2001: Stanley Fish's Milton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Stanley Fish’s great accomplishment in Surprised by Sin was to find value in both points of view while moving the debate away from a sterile either/or alternative by showing how both sides could be right but in ways neither side could suspect from within its own narrow framework.
Fish’s own tolerance during his chairmanship at Duke for the cacophony that literary criticism has become, indeed his encouragement of it, does not contradict his exegesis of Milton; rather, that exegesis confirms it.
If the act of disobedience is a breaking away from the center, one result of disobedience is that the center is no longer easily identifiable, for the link between it and the disobeying actor is precisely what has been removed by what he or she has done.

Acknowledging the ethical issues raised by his deception, Professor Sokal declared it justified by the importance of the truths he was defending from postmodernist attack: "There is a world; its properties are not merely social constructions; facts and evidence do matter.
He carefully packaged his deception so as not to be detected except by someone who began with a deep and corrosive attitude of suspicion that may now be in full flower in the offices of learned journals because of what he has done.

 STANLEY HAUERWAS an interview with Michael Quirk
However the conclusions he reaches seem, to many theologians (whether conservative, liberal, or somewhere in between), to be so over the top that they assume the man must have wandered off the highway of sweet reason somewhere into the thickets of crankdom.
Indeed it is the cardinal error of political liberalism to think that conflict on important matters can be domesticated, privatized, smoothed over, without losing something very important in the process -- namely, a sense of the meaning and worthiness of our lives.
Stanley Hauerwas: It fits as part of my larger argument that a natural theology is unintelligible separated from a full doctrine of God.

The occasion for it all is: a Chronicle of Higher Education editorial in which Fish preaches against the evils of academic activism.

Here Fish shows himself to be as naive morally and philosophically as he is politically.
In truth, Fish lives on a basis of simulacra-copies of which there is no original.
Let's dismiss abstractions as unreal, he says, and then let's pretend they exist anyway in our cozy "interpretive community." For after denying the possibility of a common good, Fish posits-declares on his own- the possibility of a community if only its members will say there's a common good.
