Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book investigates how great poetry creates meaning, analyzes the similarities and differences between imaginative and fanciful poetry, and examines the relationship between poetry and philosophy. The author argues that great poetry is the result of maximizing both remove and similarity when combining concepts, and that the genius of both poets and philosophers lies in their intellectual operations. The author concludes that in the highest reaches of poetry, poets ignore the pleasure derived from the beauty of the scene or thought represented, sacrificing it for the pleasure of their own imaginative creations. This book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding and appreciation of poetry, offering insights into its essence, its techniques, and its relationship to other forms of intellectual endeavor. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
