Rhyme Against Reason: On the Platonic Theory of Art
In this essay, I trace the influence of Plato on the classical feud between rhyme and reason and investigate Socrates’ notion of divinity to sketch out his theory of art. I also draw a general outline of the metaphysics of poetry enfolding artistic inspiration. Finally, I evaluate the unsettled scores between philosophy and poetry.
