Download or read book Philosophy and Poetry written by Ranjan Ghosh and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Plato’s Socrates exiled the poets from the ideal city in The Republic, Western thought has insisted on a strict demarcation between philosophy and poetry. Yet might their long-standing quarrel hide deeper affinities? This book explores the distinctive ways in which twentieth-century and contemporary continental thinkers have engaged with poetry and its contribution to philosophical meaning making, challenging us to rethink how philosophy has been changed through its encounters with poetry. In wide-ranging reflections on thinkers such as Heidegger, Gadamer, Arendt, Lacan, Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, Irigaray, Badiou, Kristeva, and Agamben, among others, distinguished contributors consider how different philosophers encountered the force and intensity of poetry and the negotiations that took place as they sought resolutions of the quarrel. Instead of a clash between competing worldviews, they figured the relationship between philosophy and poetry as one of productive mutuality, leading toward new modes of thinking and understanding. Spanning a range of issues with nuance and rigor, this compelling and comprehensive book opens new possibilities for philosophical poetry and the poetics of philosophy.

So many poetic journeys I had writing this. Such a strong release. My heart, mind and soul working together writing poems in many subjects from love to these inner feelings I gave my poetic all to this book. And all the hard work putting it together. I was dedicated to finish this. I am a poet who loves to write poems. Don't all poets though? I do not try hard to innovate in fact everything comes natural to me. Poetry is a language I speak. Perhaps some words people cannot understand. This is a personal collection of my own expressions. There are those who get me and what I write. There are those who cannot figure me out at all. It's all in how one interprets. But an open mind is key upon reading this. I really do not want a style. I want all styles. I want to wear each poem differently in the aspects of doing it all natural. I believe I accomplished that. My poetry education is life. The good the bad, the ugly just every dream every opinion. Just everything that I can express. Even when I read my own work I think of ways to be better. To feel better, To stretch the imagination as far as I can take it. To express these true feelings to words. See an introvert like me finds it so easy to let it all out in poetry, Stanza after stanza, Form after form. Just sharing my muse the best that I can. The influences, Experiences, it all. And some eccentric thoughts as well. Just a bevy of words that have helped me be who I am today and who I shall be tomorrow. Personalized, Visualized. I always want to surprise myself by going that extra level. Personal level of what I want to do as an artist. To reflections. To a need to let it all out. I always wondered if I had the confidence at a young age where would I be right now? But the thing is life is a history lesson. What I write even teaches me. Where I was, Who I was with. How I was in the many aspects of my life. All in all I just love to write. I took a break from it and it sure gave me the riot act, I mean I wrote and wrote each poem just went on and on and on. It hit me and I was glad it did. But it sure gets tiring after awhile as the mind gets to where it never wants to stop, Luckily it has helped me so much helped me so very much. I try to stay true to the art itself. Respect it with gratitude that my muse gives me wings to fly wherever I want to fly. Landing in each venture and as I delve into the many aspects for which comes to me. And those who have come before me. Wrote such timeless pieces and paved the way for poetry I am grateful of them and the art that I cherish to strongly. The likes of Poe, Plath, Frost, Byron I could go on and on and on. And of course Poe is a genius in his stories and of course his poems. Music has been a great part of me as well. Nirvana, Alice in chains, Iron Maiden. I could go on and on and on. But I a poet who loves music but loves writing poetry. To inspire, To tell those they are not alone. To inspire myself that I am not alone. To brave every storm as Poetry is my guide to medicate myself naturally with the grace of expression. expressions really. Just all in all honor and willpower. I mean it does come at a price like in the form of lack of sleep from time to time. But it is all worth it. Oh, And no anyone reading this I have not written a bad poem about you. Or have I? Ha, I just as a introvert want to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone and stay that. With poetry I feel I do that. In life, Well that is a whole different story.
