Book A Defence of Poesie and Poems

Download or read book A Defence of Poesie and Poems written by Philip Sidney and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An Apology for Poetry', also known as 'A Defence of Poesie and Poems' by Philip Sidney is a significant work of literary criticism that defends the value of poetry. Composed in the late 16th century, Sidney wrote in response to criticism of poetry by figures such as Plato and Stephen Gosson. In the essay, Sidney argues that poetry can combine the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, and thus has the power to inspire readers towards virtue. The book includes insights into the work of Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage, and defines the three general kinds of poetry: religious, philosophical, and imaginative, the latter being the most esteemed. Sidney's work continues to be an essential read for anyone interested in the history and significance of poetry.

Book The Philosophy of Poetry

Download or read book The Philosophy of Poetry written by John Gibson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 273 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.
