Abstract

This article is part of a broader study examining the relationship between philosophy and poetry, focusing on the fact that both disciplines create language and employ natural language in a creative manner. The relationship between poetry and philosophy—specifically, between language and knowledge—is
explored within a discussion of poetic ontology and gnoseology. Poetry is deconstructed here along two dimensions, ontological and gnoseological, into the Poetic and Poetics, and is regarded as a source of philosophy, science, art, and the sacred. The article advances the following key ideas:
-The nature of the Poetic is to bring forth both reality and possibility.
-Metaphysics serves as the medium for the transition and understanding of the shift from the Poetic to Poetics, between Being and Non-Being, Materiality and Immateriality.
-The mystical is viewed as a poetic factor in the relationship between the Poetic and Poeticity, between ontology and gnoseology, between the manifestation of Being and its expression.
-The meaning of any philosophy, science, art, or sacred discipline is inherently poetic.
-The multiplicity of Poetics arises from the need for reality, coherence, certainty, and continuity within our existential given.
-The need for reality is absolute, serving as the determinant of all existential givens and acts. However, the fulfillment of this need is constrained by our existential and cognitive dimensions. Therefore, our reality is poetic in nature, limited and mediated categorically.

Two types of disjunctions underpin the poetic and the poeticity of the world: the gap between the need for Reality and Reality itself, and the disjunction between the Reality obtained and its knowledge, expression, and
representation.
-Everything we can conceive, think, articulate, act upon, begin, or conclude belongs to the Poetic and its poetic expression.
-A Poetics is an apparent representation of the world, a conceptual game that may be contradicted but cannot be entirely dismissed or denied. The article revisits and expands on the theme of the Unifying Principle of Relativity in philosophy, offering various formulations of this principle as explanatory syntheses of a metaphilosophical nature, underlining the idea that all philosophy, science, art, and approaches to the sacred are forms of Poetics.
