| Popis | This presentation will explore the theme of consciousness within T.S. Eliot’s poetry and essays through the framework of the Idealist philosophers, Johann Fichte and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. It will posit that within the Idealist philosophy, art acts as the ultimate synthesis between the internal and external drive. This synthesis then enables the individual to achieve consciousness. This presentation explores this philosophy within Eliot’s essays, “On Tradition and Individual Talent” and “Hamlet and His Problems”, positing that Eliot’s concepts of Tradition, Historical Sense and Objective Correlative mimic and represent similar concepts within the German Idealist philosophy of consciousness. Through the application of the Idealist philosophy within Eliot’s aesthetics and poetry, this presentation will posit that poetry, as an art, acts as the ultimate synthesis between the individual and the urban scene. This is illustrated throughout Eliot’s poetry but this presentation will focus on Eliot’s early poem “Preludes” and his incorporation of the urban as the external drive through which the individual achieves self-hood. |
