{{Short description|Mystical Scientific Poem}}{{Broader|Perennial philosophy|Wisdom|Nature (philosophy)}}A philosophical poet is a poetic writer who employs poetic devices to explore subjects common to the field of philosophy, esp. those revolving around language: e.g., philosophy of language, semiotics, phenomenology, hermeneutics, literary theory, psychoanalysis, and critical theory.JOURNAL, DICKINSON, COLBY, 2012, The Poetic Atheology of Giorgio Agamben: Defining the Scission Between Poetry and Philosophy,weblink Mosaic: An Interdisciplinary Critical Journal, 45, 1, 203â€“217, 44029793, 2022-01-23

, [As opposed to poets and novelists,] the mystic, if he describes his inner torments, focuses his expectation on an object within which he manages to anchor himself. ... [the mystic] tends much more toward sensation than the poet, for it is by sensation that he verges upon God., They rely on intuition and the intersubjectivity of their senses to depict reality.JOURNAL, PERRICONE, CHRISTOPHER, 1996, Poetic Philosophy: The Bergson-Whitman Connection,weblink The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, 10, 1, 41â€“61, 25670170, 2022-01-23

truth through Literal and figurative language>figurative language (i.e. metaphor) in questions related to the meaning of life, the nature of being (ontology), theories of knowledge and knowing (epistemology), principles of beauty (aesthetics), first principles of things (metaphysics) or the existence of God.JOURNAL, Zink, Sidney, 1945, Poetry and Truth,weblink The Philosophical Review, 54, 2, 132â€“154, 10.2307/2181532, 2181532, 2022-01-23, The categories of truth and existence are irrelevant to poetry. ... The poem does, nevertheless, contain certain features essential to truth ... [T]he poem can be described as true only metaphorically[.],

Overview

Some philosophical poets may make broad philosophical inquires and engage with diverse philosophical topics throughout their poetry, while others may concentrate within one branch of philosophical poetry. For example, Dante is considered by some to be both a philosophical poet, in a general sense, as well as a metaphysical poet.BOOK,weblink registration, 26, philosophical%20poet%20definition., The Early T. S. Eliot and Western Philosophy, Habib, Rafey, 1999-06-28, Cambridge University Press, 9780521624336, en, Although a group discussion may provide fruitful conditions for some to explore philosophical themes, poetry may be seen an alternative entry into philosophical thinking.BOOK,weblink The Philosophy Shop: Ideas, activities and questions to get people, young and old, thinking philosophically, Worley, Peter, 2012-09-27, Crown House Publishing, 9781781350614, en, Children and young writers may find it easier to begin writing philosophical poetry if they start by using poetic styles other than rhyme, such as repetitive form, since rhyme can be distracting and may interfere with the free flow of their philosophical thoughts. Most, but not all, philosophical poets do eventually develop one preferred form of philosophical verse when it comes to the style of their writing.WEB,weblink Two Philosophical Poets: On T. S. Eliot and Kay Ryan Â« Kenyon Review Blog, www.kenyonreview.org, 10 January 2012, 2016-05-11, For example, Rumi and Hafiz often utilize the single verse form, while Dickinson usually adheres to the quatrain form.WEB,weblink Two Philosophical Poets: On T.
