Second Crossroad
View through CrossRef
The idea of knowledge through action is discussed and appraised, as well as the manner whereby it introduces a further (potentially irreconcilable) difference between philosophy and literature. Knowledge-through-action is discussed in relation to arguments within religious aesthetics—by Karl Rahner and von Balthasar’s “Theo-drama”—and also to overlapping claims within philosophical aesthetics—by Angela Leighton and Roger Scruton’s version of Heidegger’s “presencing” through poetry. The chapter attempts to formulate a viable point at which Milton’s form of acting as knowing can be accepted by a philosopher. Paradigms of knowledge that encompass and validate more than propositional knowledge are examined (and, for the most part, rejected) as potential meeting points with Milton. A distinction between knowledge and meaningfulness is proposed, and the notion of purchase is developed.
