Preamble

Marlies Kronegger

pp. 449-450

The place of existential phenomenology in a comprehensive view is assured by its discovery of literature as a tracery of human perceptions, present in the creating mind, latent in the work, and given a new and final genesis in the act of writing, reading, seeing, painting, singing, or other. What is it to perceive the world as a human does? What does aesthetic experience mean? What is aesthetic enjoyment and the poetic sense of life? Professor Tymieniecka, in Poetica Nova, pointed out that the human significance of literature lies in enhancing the life experience toward its reaching a higher level of significance in Human Existence. What is a creative urge? What is creative orchestration? Does it make all our imaginative, aesthetic, moral, poetic, cognitive sensibilities vibrate?
