- Poetic Knowledge
- Hey! I'm off to my first Humanities class, Poetic Knowledge. Ever heard of it?
- I'll catch up with you after class and tell you when I find out!
- No! Poetic Knowledge? What's that?
- Things get REAL! Our student suddenly experiences the world in a new way!
- Welcome! Today starts our journey of knowledge using wonder, our senses, emotion and intuition.
- I wonder what we are doing out here. It sure is beautiful. Beats a classroom any day!
- Reality comes to the pupil as he takes his leisure in nature and listens and experiences the words of the greatest thinkers experiencing with his "internal and external senses, his emotions and intuition the world in a new way.
- Whoa! Who are all of you?
- Plato!
- Aristotle!
- You mean we aren't going to sit in a classroom and study for a test?
- St Augustine!
- Rene Descartes
- St Thomas Aquinas!
- John Dewey!
- Poetic Knowledge The Recovery of Education by James S. Taylor
- As our student experiences and falls in love with the stars he understands the stars and the sky and indeed the world in a whole new way and he now possesses a knowledge as part of his being...a knowledge unable to be learned in a book.
- Our student has already discovered an important concept of poetic knowledge...wonder!
- But where does that leave our new philosopher upon return to the reality of today's Western education?
- Stars? What are they made of? Wonder and light, brilliance and sparkle. They light up the entire country side and waltz and sail across the sky.
- Surrounded by some of the greatest philosophers throughout the ages, our student begins to understand that there is another path to knowledge outside of classrooms and tests, facts and drills!
- No. Poetry and leisure have been the best use of his time. As E.F. Schuacher said, "...Science and engineering produce "know-how"; but "know-how" is nothing by itself; it is a means without an end, a mere potentiality..."
- Experience...the stars, music, emotion, poetry, leisure, play. These are new ways of knowing for our student. Connatural knowledge occurs and he now knows something about the things he previously knew. Not only does he know scientific knowledge of the stars, now he knows them in a way words are limited to express.
- Will this deeper emotional "sense" knowing our student has experienced lead him to the scientific intellectual knowledge his college program and the Western world demands or has it been a waste of time for him?
- No, no, no... Facts, facts, facts. Give me facts!
- St. Augustine said, that 'one cannot really read and know the words-signs of things-without first a knowledge of the things themselves, which we must come to love'. (p. 37)
