    Hermeneutics: Poetry v. science

    [Print] | [Email]

    Barfield thinks it’s disastrous to oppose poetry and science “as two fundamentally opposite modes of experiencing Life.”  Among other things, it spoils art: “For it leads straight to that Crocean conception of art as meaningless emotion - as personal emotion symbolized - which is so poisonous in its charter to all kinds of posturing and conceited egotism.”
