Guiding Philosophy
Behind this site is a firm belief in the value of looking at the various aspects of a text to comprehend its artistry and
the ideas it conveys. There is, of course, more than one way to analyze or interpret a text. The site does not presume to be definitive. It does, on the
other hand, provide tools that contribute to and help stimulate analysis and mastery of the given text. Although
Gleeditions LLC relies on a highly regarded team of experienced scholars who specialize in the field, we, the developers,
realize that other approaches are as legitimate as ours. Readers with new or different ways of looking at a text, which
are supportable by reference to that text, have our hearty encouragement. We are all part of the same enlightening process.
