{"product_id":"the-philosophy-of-poetry","title":"The Philosophy of Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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. Yeatss The Second Coming  Sylvia Plaths Daddy  or Paul Celans 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985090867253,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199603677","price":154.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199603671.jpg?v=1770846140","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-poetry","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
