The Homer's Epics in the"Debate between Poetry and Philosophy"and the"Debate between the Ancients and the Moderns"
The"debate between poetry and philosophy"and the"debate between the ancients and the moderns"in the history of Western literary and artistic thought are disputes revolving around the Homer's Epics regarding which is superior,ra-tionality or sensibility,and which is right,retro or innovation.The essence of the former is the challenge posed by the philosophi-cal thinking and rational thinking advocated by Socrates and Plato to the"poetic thinking"and sensory thinking represented by Homer.The latter,on the other hand,is the contradiction and opposition between modern new sciences and classical knowledge,manifested as the belittlement and defense of Homer.In these disputes,the Homer's Epics have always been at the center of con-troversy.On the one hand,it shows the unshakable classic status of the Homer's Epics as the source of Western literature;on the other hand,it reflects its powerful role in inspiring thoughts.The disputes about the Homer's Epics have laid the foundation for the study of poetics,formed many important literary theories and critical methods,and continuously provided nourishment for the later researchers' thinking.
