Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In the first English language translation of this classic late
20th-century text within French Catholic thought, Poetics of the
Sensible brings together insights from Neoplatonism and
phenomenology with a distinctive and innovative approach. Taking a
stance within the generative conception of human language
represented by continental thinkers such as Humboldt and Herder and
powerfully articulated today by Charles Taylor, Stanislas Breton
expands the sense of the “poeticâ€â€”the constructive
meaning-bearing capacity that is a core characteristic of
humanity—to include the body and its senses phenomenologically
intertwined with the world. Defying Heidegger’s prohibition on
the question of God alongside contemporary thinkers such as
Jean-Luc Marion, Jean-Louis Chrétien and Emmanuel Falque, he
boldly writes of God, of the angel, of the icon, and of prayer in a
refusal to bracket his religious faith. Against a Neoplatonic
backdrop, Breton promotes the dense material dimensions of embodied
signification as paradoxically harbouring meaning that is greater
than that of conceptual abstraction alone. Illuminating Breton’s
poetic and allusive discourse, Poetics of the Sensible showcases
his unique voice in French philosophy, phenomenology and the
philosophy of religion and is essential reading for scholars and
students alike.
