Do any of you know of people who effectively communicate a critique of something like romanticism? Context: I was thinking about simple enjoyment. I can imagine a good critique of a saccharine version of that, but I’m not sure that’s a huge problem compared to almost everything.

Embarrassed to say that much of my understanding comes from David McMahon’s and Thanissaro Bikkhu’s critiques of the Romanticization of modern Buddhism https://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/rootsofbuddhistromanticism.html …

Thanks David, I’m quite sure I’ve never read Thanissaro Bikkhu’s critique before.

He’s very good. Incisive and careful. I reject and abhor all his religious beliefs, but respect him enormously.
