Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Science and Poetry' is a foundational work of literary theory that explores the shifting relationship between scientific advancement and the human need for poetic expression. Written by the influential critic I. A. Richards, this treatise examines the psychological impact of the 'neutralization of nature'-the process by which science stripped the physical world of its traditional mythological and emotional resonances. Richards argues that as the scientific worldview provides a purely factual understanding of the universe, the role of poetry becomes more vital than ever as a means of organizing human experience and maintaining psychological balance.
