Publisher's Synopsis
A Discourse Upon the Essence and Form of Poetry by Fabre D'Olivet is a philosophical exploration of the nature of poetry and its relationship to language, art, and human consciousness. D'Olivet argues that poetry is not simply a form of artistic expression, but a fundamental mode of human communication that reveals the deepest truths about the nature of reality and the human soul.Drawing on a wide range of sources, including ancient Greek philosophy, French Romanticism, and his own insights into the nature of language and symbolism, D'Olivet offers a rich and complex analysis of the essence and form of poetry. He explores the role of rhythm, meter, and rhyme in poetic expression, as well as the ways in which poetry can reveal the hidden meanings and connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.Throughout the book, D'Olivet emphasizes the importance of poetry as a means of accessing the deepest levels of human consciousness and understanding. He argues that poetry has the power to transform the way we see the world and ourselves, and that it is essential to the development of a truly holistic and integrated understanding of human experience.Written in a dense and challenging style, A Discourse Upon the Essence and Form of Poetry is a work of profound philosophical insight and poetic beauty. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of language, art, and human consciousness, and a testament to the enduring power of poetry as a mode of human expression.THIS 114 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Golden Verses of Pythagoras, by Fabre D'Olivet.
