Download or read book Plato and the Poets written by Pierre Destrée and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plato’s discussions of poetry and the poets stand at the cradle of Western literary criticism. Plato is, paradoxically, both the philosopher who cites, or alludes to, works of poetry more than any other, and the one who is at the same time the harshest critic of poetry. The nineteen essays presented here aim to offer various avenues to this paradox, and to illuminate the ways poetry and the poets are discussed by Plato throughout his writing career, from the Apology and the Ion to the Laws. As well as throwing new light on old topics, such as mimesis and poetic inspiration, the volume introduces fresh approaches to Plato’s philosophy of poetry and literature.

Download or read book Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe, critical edition, Volume 8 written by George Santayana and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santayana's argument for the unity of philosophy and poetry. This concise and compelling volume—described by Santayana as a “piece of literary criticism, together with a first broad lesson in the history of philosophy”—introduces Santayana's thought in the rich context of a European poetic tradition that demonstrates his broad conception of philosophy. Rejecting both the Platonic opposition of philosophy and poetry and more recent attempts to reduce philosophy to science, Santayana argues that philosophy and poetry at their best are united in articulating a comprehensive vision of the world that permits honest contemplation of the universe. He considers the ideal visions of three artists: Lucretius's naturalism provides a total perspective on the physical world but renders experience monotonous; Dante's supernaturalism provides a total perspective on experience but subordinates nature to morality; Goethe's romanticism provides a dramatic perspective on nature and experience but lacks totality. Santayana sees each as the best in his own way, though none is best in all ways; and he speculates that the ideal poet would integrate the gifts and insights of all three, resulting in “rational art,” of which philosophical poetry is a prime example. This critical edition, volume VIII of The Works of George Santayana, includes notes, textual commentary, lists of variants and emendations, an index, and other tools useful to Santayana scholars.

Download or read book The Ancient Quarrel Between Philosophy and Poetry written by Raymond Barfield and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its beginnings, philosophy's language, concepts and imaginative growth have been heavily influenced by poetry and poets. Drawing on the work of a wide range of thinkers throughout the history of Western philosophy, Raymond Barfield explores the pervasiveness of poetry's impact on philosophy and, conversely, how philosophy has sometimes resisted or denied poetry's influence. Although some thinkers, like Giambatista Vico and Nietzsche, praised the wisdom of poets, and saw poetry and philosophy as mutually beneficial pursuits, others resented, diminished or eliminated the importance of poetry in philosophy. Beginning with the famous passage in Plato's Republic in which Socrates exiles the poets from the city, this book traces the history of the ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry through the works of thinkers in the Western tradition ranging from Plato to the work of the contemporary thinker Mikhail Bakhtin.

Download or read book Three Philosophical Poets written by George Santayana and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the best way to discuss the intersection of philosophy, poetry and art? For George Santayana it was to highlight the greatest qualities of each poet and explain how one compliments the other. This is Santayana's approach in Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe. "The sole advantage in possessing great works of literature lies in what they can help us to become." So begins Santayana's analysis of the three heroes of the book. Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe is a collection of six lectures "with a few additions" read in February, 1910, and they are based on one of Santayana's courses at Columbia University. He begins with an examination of Lucretius and his foundation in naturalism, materialism and in humanism in ethics. A thousand years later Dante arrived, bringing with him awareness of supernaturalism, or God. Still later came Goethe, whose Romanticism expanded on Lucretius and Dante. Santayana's love for the poets is infectious. Rather than painstakingly examining each line and then connecting it to dry philosophical tomes, Santayana quotes the best passages, explaining what makes them great. He seems to be delighted by each poem, almost as if it is a brand new discovery. Santayana's discourse on the various episodes of Faust is essential reading. He relates each one in an entertaining manner, making the reader feel as if he or she is in the midst of a good conversation. By connecting the three poets, Santayana helps readers gain insight into their poems but also into the nature of philosophy itself. Readers will find meaning in Three Philosophical Poets: Lucretius, Dante, and Goethe. This book will encourage readers to revisit the three poets with fresh eyes. It is a vital companion for rereading three great poets of the Western world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Robert Frost written by Peter James Stanlis and published by Intercollegiate Studies Institute. This book was released on 2007 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Frost is by far the most celebrated major American poet of the twentieth century. In part, this is because his poetry seems, on the surface, to be so accessible, even homey. But Frost was not just a powerful writer of popular lyric and narrative verse, argues Peter J. Stanlis in this major contribution to American literary study and philosophy. Rather, his work is deeply rooted in a complex philosophical dualism that opposes both idealistic monism, centered in spirit, and scientific positivism, which posits that the universe can be understood as nothing but matter. InRobert Frost: The Poet as Philosopher,Stanlis shows how Frost’s philosophical dualism of spirit and matter is perceived through metaphors and applied to science, religion, art, education, and society. He further argues that Frost’s dualism provides a critique of the monistic forces that were instrumental in the triumph of twentieth-century totalitarianism. Thoroughly informed by his twenty-three year friendship and correspondence with Frost, Stanlis’s landmark volume is the first attempt to deal with the poet’s philosophy in a systematic manner. It will appeal not only to fans of Frost but to all who understand poetry as a form of revelation for understanding human nature.
