A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education: The Play of the In-Between
explores the ways in which both play and poetry orient us toward
what surpasses us. Catherine Homan develops an original account of
poetic education that builds on Friedrich Hoelderlin's idea of
poetry as a teacher of humanity. Whereas aesthetic education
emphasizes judgments of taste and rational autonomy, poetic
education foregrounds self-formation and openness to the other.
Critically engaging the works of Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer,
and Paul Celan, this book argues that poetry and play call for a
particular stance in the world and with others. Open toward the
infinite while simultaneously reaching toward its own finitude, the
poetic work addresses us and invites our response. Poetry reveals
the human condition as "in-between" and dialogical, even at the
limits of language. Although many philosophers mistakenly view play
as frivolous, Homan takes play seriously. Play--spontaneous and
creative--resists mastery and instead requires an active attunement
to the to-and-fro movement of the world, of others, and ourselves.
A Hermeneutics of Poetic Education demonstrates that poetic
education, as learning to listen, provides vital resources for
responding to alterity in meaningful ways that resist totalization.
