They are as follows: a) He considers the critical act as the act of objective recognition. b) He excludes from criticism the value judgement with which most critics have been concerned, because he thinks that it is derived from random impressions. c) He studies the literary works with the same attitude or method that a scientist researches natural phenomenon. In these points, however, there is a question is it possible for us to see literary works (things which are created by writers) and natural phenomenon (things which are not created but exist) as the same thing ?. Criticism considered as a science will, if it goes to extremes, exceed the limit of criticism and cease to be criticism, as T. S. Eliot pointed out in "The Frontiers of Criticism"., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学 6: 105-113(1972)}, pages = {105--113}, title = {科学としての批判:N. フライの批判について}, volume = {6}, year = {1972} }
