This book rediscovers a traditional mode of knowledge that remains
viable today. Contrasted to the academic and cultural fads often
based on the scientific methodology of the Cartesian legacy, or any
number of trendy experiments in education, Poetic Knowledge returns
to the freshness and importance of first knowledge, a knowledge of
the senses and the passions.
"Poetic knowledge" is not the knowledge of poetry, nor is it
even knowledge in the sense that we often think of today, that is,
the mastery of scientific, technological, or business information.
Rather, it is an intuitive, obscure, mysterious way of knowing
reality, not always able to account for itself, but absolutely
essential if one is ever to advance properly to the higher degrees
of certainty. From Socrates to the Middle Ages, and even into the
twentieth century, the case for poetic knowledge is revealed with
the care of philosophical archeology. Taylor demonstrates the
effectiveness of the poetic mode of education through his own
observations as a teacher, and two experimental "poetic" schools in
the twentieth century.
