Excerpt from The Poet as Philosopher, a Study of Three Philosophical Poems, Nosce Teipsum the Essay on Man: In Memoriam One of the passions of the human mind is the passion for definition. Were it not so, the dictionary maker would not have found so large and so constantly growing a place in the sun. This, in spite of the fact that one of the discoveries of maturity is the futility of the effort to define. Like other passions mental and emotional, the definition is elusive. The mental concept, so clear while merely a concept, is a very butterfly in its power to evade the grasp. All too many words are required for the sufficient verbal analysis of an idea that, while it remains merely a visualized image, seems self-evident. The perception which flashes "upon the inward eye" becomes confused and dulled when the feeble reason attempts justly to reproduce it through the halting medium of language. Even the daily homely commonplaces refuse to be "cribb'd, cabined, or confined." The concrete fabric of wood or metal dissolves into thin air before our effort to imprison it in words. No better means exists of proving the objects of everyday life to be "such stuff as dreams are made of" than to seek to formulate their character in words. Since, then, anything made the object of definition becomes nebulous and refuses to crystallize, why not snatch at something recognizably elusive, and ask, What is a poet? What, then, is a poet? The answer must be in terms of what the poet makes himself. To-day he is a maker of pictures; and the charm of a dawning English Mayday, painted in vivid primary colors, lures us with Arcite out into woodland paths where the hawthorn breaks into blossom and the "busye larke" soars into the blue. To-morrow he is a singer of songs; and we dance with Ariel, or surfeit on the food of love to Festes music; with Hey wood we borrow the birds' notes to give our love good-morrow, or with Greene and his Sephestia we weep for the coming grief of the child who smiles upon her knee. To-day he is the stern apostle of a religion of righteousness, preaching harsh judgment against the "blind mouths' that starve "the hungry sheep"; to-morrow he is the herald of the gentler creed of truth in beauty.

Excerpt from The Poet as Philosopher, a Study of Three Philosophical Poems, Nosce Teipsum the Essay on Man: In Memoriam It is probable, too, that to his contemporaries the philosophical discoveries of Davies had all the charm of novelty. It is to our print-satiated age that they seem trite. The men and women who read his work knew Plato and Aristotle, to be sure; but here were Plato and Aristotle popularized and made English. And these readers were not constructive thinkers, each in possession of a well-formulated system of metaphysics. Among the men of learning of his time, Davies was one of the few conscious philos Ophers. While he was no more really the philosopher than was Spenser, and while his work no more truly contains a knowledge of the deep things of the thought of the ages past than does the Faerie Queen, nevertheless Spenser's philosophical reflections are so intermingled with the thread of his allegory and with vivid images of sensuous beauty that the philosopher seems all poet. For the writer of Nosoe Teipsum, on the contrary, poetry was merely the medium of expression of an abstract philosophical theme - the ship which carried the adventurer through the deeps of thought, into a country to him as undiscovered as was the Eldorado Which lured Sir Walter Raleigh to his death.

A definitive new edition of one of the greatest philosophical poems in the English language Voltaire called it "the most sublime didactic poem ever written in any language." Rousseau rhapsodized about its intellectual consolations. Kant recited long passages of it from memory during his lectures. And Adam Smith and David Hume drew inspiration from it in their writings. This was Alexander Pope's Essay on Man (1733–34), a masterpiece of philosophical poetry, one of the most important and controversial works of the Enlightenment, and one of the most widely read, imitated, and discussed poems of eighteenth-century Europe and America. This volume, which presents the first major new edition of the poem in more than fifty years, introduces this essential work to a new generation of readers, recapturing the excitement and illuminating the debates it provoked from the moment of its publication. Echoing Milton's purpose in Paradise Lost, Pope says his aim in An Essay on Man is to "vindicate the ways of God to man"—to explain the existence of evil and explore man's place in the universe. In a comprehensive introduction, Tom Jones describes the poem as an investigation of the fundamental question of how people should behave in a world they experience as chaotic, but which they suspect to be orderly from some higher point of view. The introduction provides a thorough discussion of the poem's attitudes, themes, composition, context, and reception, and reassesses the work's place in history. Extensive annotations to the text explain references and allusions. The result is the most accessible, informative, and reader-friendly edition of the poem in decades and an invaluable book for students and scholars of eighteenth-century literature and thought.
