![]() ![]() I think this means not only that he is constantly asking questions about alternatives, but, in my view, he believed, and quite strongly, that alternative truths not only are possible, but co-exist and explain each other. Stanley Fish wrote a whole long piece on one single incident of Miltonic 'howevers' (got it the concept right but worked on it from the wrong perspective, maybe because he thought too much of himself as a reader and didn't learn from Milton, but wanted Milton to conform to his views.) anyway, whenever Milton says something he also suggests something else.
