Cosmic Connections

Charles Taylor delves into the poetry of the Romantics and their heirs, a foundation of his distinctive philosophy of language. Taylor holds that Romantic poetry responded to disenchantment: with old cosmic orders depleted, artists groped to articulate new meanings by bringing connections to life rather than merely reasoning abstractly about life.

Charles Taylor se adanceste in poezia romanticilor si a mostenitorilor lor, o baza a filozofiei sale distincte a limbajului. Taylor sustine ca poezia romantica a raspuns la dezamagire: cu vechile ordini cosmice epuizate, artistii bajbeau sa articuleze noi semnificatii, aducand conexiuni cu viata, mai degraba decat sa rationeze in mod abstract despre viata.
