The Quarrel between Poetry and Philosophy:On"Universal Poesie"of Early German Romanticism
The quarrel between poetry and philosophy,which began in early Greece,has formed a long tradition in Western intellectual and cultural history.Early German Romanticism,reflecting on the alienation of modernity,put forward the idea of"Universal Poesie"on the basis of Kantian philosophy and the encyclopedic theory of classical philosophy.Through irony and imagination,Universal Poesie makes poetry an encyclopedic and overarching discipline with metaphysical and transcendental implica-tions.The idea of"Universal Poesie"not only unified poetry and philosophy,bridging the split between man and nature,sensibility and rationality caused by the Enlightenment,but also had a far-reaching im-pact on the development of Aestheticism and Symbolism,providing possibilities for reflecting on the crisis of modernity,and is of great significance in the history of literature and philosophy.
