Talk:Manwel Dimech

Manuel Dimech a poet and a philosopher?
This article claims that Dimech was a poet is based on unnamed and unpublished poetry books and a philosopher because he held a few, very general and unoriginal ideas which seem more to be a case of over-interpretation. I think both claims should go. Demdem (talk) 19:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks like this thread needs to be re-opened again. So here goes: what are the grounds on which Manwel Dimech can be called a "philosopher"? Or a "poet"?

Re. Dimech = philosopher, I refer you to M. Montebello, Dimech, PEG, Malta, 2004, Chapter IV, and there you'll find your answer. No more need be said here.

Re. Dimech = poet, no compendium of Dimech's poetry has been published so far, and thus a qualified judgement concerning his artistic ability in this field is still unwarranted. It is a fact that he does indeed have hundreds of all sorts of poetic compositions, and thus, until a better consideration should be given to them, the very fact of him possessing poetic compositions must qualify him as a "poet" (perhaps even of sorts, if you like; but a poet nonetheless). Even if a person is no Shakespeare, that does not mean he should not be considered to be a poet in his own (little, if you like) right.
