Original research?

[edit]

From article: In 1973, T.L. Thorson wrote in the 4th edition of A History of Political Theory: "It is the mark of a modern mind to be able to explicitly create a "myth" as a way of influencing others (as, for example, Plato does in The Republic). In it original sense myth is a literal description. T.L. Thorson (1973) A History of Political Theory, 4th edition, page 14 " . Is it WP:Original research?

Can you Biosthmors please clarify your question? Do you want to say that 1973 work of Thorson violates wikipedia OR policy or that editors who used this work did?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:26, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Thorson quote is not WP:OR. A quote from a reliable source is not "original research" prohibited in this Project.Rgdboer (talk) 21:31, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
