small frye in a baked potato world

I just sat down to the arduous task of reading some Frye -its been hard with all these low mimetic comedies coming in from netflix- and i found a passage that links up exactly to a point i was trying but had a difficult time making a few posts ago. Originally i had commented on a blog by Jiwon in which there is a segment of Edward Said and i went on to say something about his view of Orientalism and what that is all about. The point i was trying to make is that while we are beginning to study our own critics-and the theories to which they contribute- it is important to recognize that we must also be absorbing all the orbiting information around our critic and around those of our peers. Or as Frye puts it, "With critics using material from psychology and anthropology, with Aristotelians, Coleridgians, Thomists, Fruedians...with students of myth, rituals, archetypes, metaphors...The student must either admit the principle of polysemous meaning, or choose one of these groups and then try to prove that ll the others are less legitimate. The former is the way of scholarship, and leads to the advancement of learning; the latter to the way of pedantry pg 72"
now while this idea might be already quite apparent to most, or has already been cited, but i feel that this passage from Frye signifies the very theme of this class: Survey of Literary Criticism.
