peer agreement (net): +4poetic insights Explanation: Yes, I fully agree with your idea of "poetic insights", Iulianna. I did a brief search for "poetic insights"+white and came across the references below, relating to comments on historiography by Hayden White. (I'm inclined to give this a CR of 5, but as the asker hasn't posted the full name of the "White" referred to in the source text, I'll leave it at 4) According to White, this mythos clouds Hegel's philosophical history insofar as it 'was meant to explicate the presuppositions and forms of thought by which the essentially poetic insights of the historian can be gathered into consciousness and transformed into a Comic vision of the whole process'. https://archive.org/stream/ActionAndAppearanceEthicsAndThePo... As Hayden White, the leading figure in the movement, put it: “any historical object can sustain a number of equally plausible descriptions or narratives of its processes.”21 ...Since “the possible modes of historiography,” White argued, were “in reality formal izations of poetic insights that analytically precede them,” and since none of these poetic insights had a more legitimate claim to being “realistic” than any of the others, the historian’s choice of an interpretative strategy did not depend on what best captured “reality”: the choice was “ultimately aesthetic or moral rather than epistemological.”28 The conclusion, shocking to old- fashioned historians, was that “we are free to conceive ‘history’ as we please, just as we are free to make of it what we will.”29 http://assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/s8200.pdf |
