Catherine Homan expands upon Friedrich Hölderlin's notion of poetry as a teacher of humanity, crafting an original perspective on poetic education. While aesthetic education focuses on judgments of taste and rational autonomy, poetic education prioritizes self-formation and openness to others. Through a critical engagement with the works of Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Paul Celan, this book argues that poetry and play demand a specific stance in the world and with others. Simultaneously embracing the infinite and reaching toward its finite boundaries, poetic work addresses us, inviting our response. Poetry unveils the human condition as \"in-between\" and dialogical, even at the limits of language. While many philosophers mistakenly dismiss play as frivolous, Homan takes it seriously. Play, characterized by spontaneity and creativity, resists mastery and necessitates an active attunement to the ceaseless movement of the world, others, and ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Hermeneutics of Poetic Education showcases that poetic education, as the art of listening, offers invaluable resources for engaging meaningfully with alterity, resisting the tendency towards totalization. By exploring the interplay between play and poetry, this book provides a profound exploration of the human experience and offers a roadmap for cultivating a more open and receptive mindset in our interactions with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 331g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220 x 153 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781498594462\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine Homan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102309150970,"sku":"9781498594462","price":38.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1653912288482_book.jpg?v=1654013043","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-hermeneutics-of-poetic-education-the-play-of-the-inbetween-9781498594462","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
