Allegory revisited
ideals of mankind
by A-T. Tymieniecka
Focusing mainly upon language, communication, textuality, etc., as is overwhelmingly today's fashion, we miss the very raison d'etre of literature and language itself. Moving a step further in our investigation of the anthropologic-ontopoietic sources of the life-significance of literature by unravelling the function of imaginatio creatrix in man's self-interpretation-in-existence, this collection seeks to bring forth the royal role of allegory in the fostering of culture.
A conjoint work of human elemental passions and of the human spirit, allegory mediates between the lofty ideals of the highest human striving and the pedestrian realm of facts. Interpretative or theoretical studies encompass allegory - mediaeval, modern and post-modern - in various literatures.
