- Title
A POETIC PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE TEMPERATE SEASONS.
- Authors
FISCHER, Luke
- Abstract
Drawing on the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, key ideas in the writings of the poet and scientist Johann Wolf-gang von Goethe, a phenomenological conception of affects, and poems that address the seasons, this article outlines a poetic phenomenology of the temperate seasons. It aims to unite a poetic sensibility for seasonal phenomena with a structured phenomenological approach. In doing so, it presents the seasons as a meaningful polyphony in which human be-ings also participate. It gives a non-reductive account of how the human experience of the seasons is deeply connected to natural seasonal phe-nomena and indicates ways in which we can deepen our understanding of, and participation in, the seasons.
