Download or read book Care Ethics and Poetry written by Maurice Hamington and published by Palgrave Pivot. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care Ethics and Poetry is the first book to address the relationship between poetry and feminist care ethics. The authors argue that morality, and more specifically, moral progress, is a product of inquiry, imagination, and confronting new experiences. Engaging poetry, therefore, can contribute to the habits necessary for a robust moral life—specifically, caring. Each chapter offers poems that can provoke considerations of moral relations without explicitly moralizing. The book contributes to valorizing poetry and aesthetic experience as much as it does to reassessing how we think about care ethics.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Poetry written by John Gibson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years philosophers have produced important books on nearly all the major arts: the novel and painting, music and theatre, dance and architecture, conceptual art and even gardening. Poetry is the sole exception. This is an astonishing omission, one this collection of original essays will correct. If contemporary philosophy still regards metaphors such as 'Juliet is the sun' as a serious problem, one has an acute sense of how prepared it is to make philosophical and aesthetic sense of poems such W. B. Yeats's 'The Second Coming', Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy', or Paul Celan's 'Todesfuge'. The Philosophy of Poetry brings together philosophers of art, language, and mind to expose and address the array of problems poetry raises for philosophy. In doing so it lays the foundation for a proper philosophy of poetry, setting out the various puzzles and paradoxes that future work in the field will have to address. Given its breadth of approach, the volume is relevant not only to aesthetics but to all areas of philosophy concerned with meaning, truth, and the communicative and expressive powers of language more generally. Poetry is the last unexplored frontier in contemporary analytic aesthetics, and this volume offers a powerful demonstration of how central poetry should be to philosophy.
Download or read book Beauty of Morality written by Pierre Edens Sully and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book to begin with a variety of poetries, some letters, and a stage setting or mise en scne. It tries to make the main ideas of the subjects available with little exposure of philosophy. It tends to make clear how the enlightened Beauty of Morality carries with a long list of enlightened perspicacity and ingenuity. The author is as an echo of the voice of a lover in the hearts of readers, directing them to authentic romance. A battle exists in the heart between love and lust, those who experience true love will be the ones who wage war against the counterfeits we are all prone to embrace. He desires to show that the romantic moments do not require physical intimacy. The most romantic couples are the ones who realize this. Romance requires respect. In this book, as social issues come to define the difference between republicans and democrats. The first ones are consisting of items that might be readily associated with prejudice in some logical or automatic way, and have their roots in a personality structure characterized by aggressiveness, destructive cynicism, moral rigidity, intolerance of ambiguity, ego weakness, failure in superego internalization, and a preoccupation with the most primitive aspects of human gender, and they are blind of their own prejudices; a decline of fanatical devotion to principle of conservation on the part of public would free the intelligent leaders from the need to commit themselves, for political reasons to all sorts of disorderly nonsense. The latter are more free and more open-minded, and they turn largely on the question of whether American people care enough about the principle of racial equality to feel uneasy about the practice of racial inequality; and they never tend to dominate the media and think of themselves more liberal than conservative or radical; their values do not center on personal freedom.

Download or read book The Cure of Poetry in an Age of Prose written by Mary Kinzie and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-07-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the poet, Mary Kinzie writes, is to engage the most profound subjects with the utmost in expressive clarity. The role of the critic is to follow the poet, word for word, into the arena where the creative struggle occurs. How this mutual purpose is served, ideally and practically, is the subject of this bracingly polemical collection of essays. A distinguished poet and critic, Kinzie assesses poetry's situation during the past twenty-five years. Ours, she contends, is literally a prosaic age, not only in the popularity of prose genres but in the resultant compromises with truth and elegance in literature. In essays on "the rhapsodic fallacy," confessionalism, and the romance of perceptual response, Kinzie diagnoses some of the trends that diminish the poet's flexibility. Conversely, she also considers individual poets—Randall Jarrell, Elizabeth Bishop, Howard Nemerov, Seamus Heaney, and John Ashbery—who have found ingenious ways of averting the risks of prosaism and preserving the special character of poetry. Focusing on poet Louise Bogan and novelist J. M. Coetzee, Kinzie identifies a crucial and curative overlap between the practices of great prose-writing and great poetry. In conclusion, she suggests a new approach for teaching writers of poetry and fiction. Forcefully argued, these essays will be widely read and debated among critics and poets alike.

Book excerpt: The American war in Vietnam was one of the most morally contentious events of the twentieth century, and it produced an extraordinary outpouring of poetry. Yet the complex ethical terrain of the conflict is remarkably underexplored, and the prodigious poetic voice of its American participants remains largely unheard. In A Shadow on Our Hearts, Adam Gilbert rectifies these oversights by utilizing the vast body of soldier-poetry to examine the war's core moral issues. The soldier-poets provide important insights into the ethical dimensions of their physical and psychological surroundings before, during, and after the war. They also offer profound perspectives on the relationships between American soldiers and the Vietnamese people. From firsthand experiences, they reflect on what it meant to be witnesses, victims, and perpetrators of the war's violence. And they advance an uncompromising vision of moral responsibility that indicts a range of culprits for the harms caused by the conflict. Gilbert explores the powerful and perceptive work of these soldier-poets through the lens of morality and presents a radically alternative, deeply personal, and ethically penetrating account of the American war in Vietnam.

Download or read book Wordsworth s Ethics written by Adam Potkay and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive examination that breathes new life into Wordsworth and the ethical concerns that were vital to his nineteenth-century readers. Why read Wordsworth’s poetry—indeed, why read poetry at all? Beyond any pleasure it might give, can it make one a better or more flourishing person? These questions were never far from William Wordsworth’s thoughts. He responded in rich and varied ways, in verse and in prose, in both well-known and more obscure writings. Wordsworth's Ethics is a comprehensive examination of the Romantic poet’s work, delving into his desire to understand the source and scope of our ethical obligations. Adam Potkay finds that Wordsworth consistently rejects the kind of impersonal utilitarianism that was espoused by his contemporaries James Mill and Jeremy Bentham in favor of a view of ethics founded in relationships with particular persons and things. The discussion proceeds chronologically through Wordsworth’s career as a writer—from his juvenilia through his poems of the 1830s and '40s—providing a valuable introduction to the poet’s work. The book will appeal to readers interested in the vital connection between literature and moral philosophy.
