Silence in the Philosophical Classroom: On Learning and Teaching Poetry

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article is an examination of the treatment of poetry within educational and academic contexts, a reflection from the positionality of a student of literature. It draws on both personal experiences and broader philosophical anxieties. It argues that institutional emphasis on analytical clarity and narrative coherence has led to a discomfort with the ambiguous, affective, and non-propositional nature of poetic language.
