Paul Murphy:
"... poetry institutes, gives rise to institutions which order
"and give meaning to everyday existentiell life. Modernity crucially
"lacks such instituting -- the gods have flown, as it were --
1) So art is a structuring, an (quint)essentializing, reifying,
an hypostasizing of value, metaphysic. That is to say truth/goodness/beauty
are indistinguishable, triune; and so metaphysic/art/ethics...;
Socrates/Plato/Aristotle are implicit in Homer...are all one text.
So how deprecate metaphysics and not art?
2)Mythopoesis is a fundamental structure of human existence, as much
for modern as primitive man. Our Enlightment faith in science &
technology is every bit as numinous and god-filled a worldview. Doesn't H's
demonizing it prove as much?
