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 exploreaza poezia romanticilor si a urmasilor lor, o fundatie a filosofiei sale distinctive despre limbaj. Taylor sustine ca poezia romantica a raspuns dezamagirii: odata cu epuizarea vechilor ordine cosmice, artistii au cautat sa articuleze noi semnificatii aducand conexiuni la viata, in loc sa se limiteze la rationamente abstracte despre viata.
