Orice filosofie este o poetică (II) Principiul relativității în metapoetică
Abstract
The article argues that the major forms of knowledge-science,
philosophy, the sacred, and the arts-are constitute forms of poetics, that is,
language games that possess ontological status, whose identity is preserved
through conceptual deformation and regeneration. The starting point is the
distinction between stable and unstable thinking: science and the sacred produce
stability (through verification and revelation, respectively), philosophy seeks
stability through intellectual intuition, and poetry cultivates creative instability.
This architecture is connected to a formulation of the "principle of relativity in
thought" which is responsible for preserving the identity of the rational approach at
the cost of conceptual deformation and transformation, but also for diversification
of poetics, in any creative and instituting act, language and reality are mutually
born. To apply the metapoetic principle, a classical lineage of the Logos is
reconstructed (Parmenides, Gorgias, Heraclitus, Platonism, and Stoicism), then it
is shown how in modernity, the same poetics emerges as polarized around the
problem of nature and the preservation of the ego, of the individual.
