| ENGL 480AF - “The Age of Poets”: Philosophy and Poetry in the Twentieth Century |
|
This course examines Heidegger’s proposition that “The thinker says Being. The poet names the holy.” Our focus is on Heidegger and Hölderlin, then turns to Jacques Derrida and Paul Celan. We will conclude with Alain Badiou’s pronouncement that the “Age of Poets,” Heidegger’s “suture” of philosophy to poetry, is over.
