- Title
Poetic Diction and Participation in Being: Barfield and Gadamer on the Inner Word.
- Authors
Hedley, Douglas
- Abstract
The article discusses that English poet and philosopher Owen Barfield and the German philosopher Hans Georg Gadamer share a concern with the status of the humanities in the modern technocratic world. Both philosophers furnish a powerful defence of the speculative function of poetry in the humanities as a uniquely powerful mirror of consciousness and evince a fascination for theology. They stress the deep significance of theology for Western philosophy.
