520 | _aMaximilian de Gaynesford aims to understand and transform the mutual antagonism between poetry and philosophy into a relationship that enhances both fields, allowing us to address important questions. The key to aligning poetry with philosophy lies in recognizing that poetic expressions are most effectively appreciated as actions. This perspective mirrors the speech act approach in analytic philosophy of language, which seeks to understand all utterances as actions. Adopting this approach, the book provides ways to deepen our appreciation of poetry and expand our understanding of philosophy. It examines works by a variety of poets, from Chaucer to Geoffrey Hill and J.H. Prynne, culminating in a detailed study of Shakespeare's Sonnets. | ||
