摘要

I consider the non-absolutist conceptions of experience expressed by these three poets in the late 20th century, and how their comprehension of social context determines their commitment to moral values. These poets include the shared experiences of the social community in their writing in order to indicate the value of human effort in its own right, exclusive of the authority of any abstract system meant to govern conduct. The historical, cultural, and social circumstances each poet writes within determine the forms of poetic expression by which this affirmation of human association can be realized and articulated. The first chapter establishes the writing of Zbigniew Herbert, of Poland, as a model for non-absolutist poetic discourse. In developing this model I consider the philosophical and historical commentary of Herbert's contemporaries, Leszek Kolakowski and Adam Michnik, and the issue of provincialism in the work of a poetic precursor, Jozef Czechowicz. I also include, in contrast to Herbert, a discussion of Czeslaw Milosz and Modernism. The second and third chapters consider the extent to which the Herbert model applies to the work of Philip Larkin in Britain, and Jim Daniels in the United States. Common to all three poets is how they use poetic language to speak about reality so that abstract meanings meant to govern conduct can be called into question. Their poetic language is clear, direct, and reasonable. Their frame of reference is the world of actuality where meanings can be examined by their real effects upon individuals and their common welfare. Depending on their own local situation, each places a different emphasis on how they apprehend cultural tradition, political agendas, and personal desires as the sources of absolutism. Where they find meaning to be a function of absolutism they also invariably find that meaning as a function of social interaction and social cooperation becomes trivialized as something impure, improper, illegitimate, or wrong. Meaningfulness is important to these poets as something that originates in, and changes through, experience and actions. They do not find continuity of meaning in terms of an ultimate end or a pre-existing source, but as a continuity of change through social interaction in everyday situations. Their poetic discourse is a moral discourse that is not moralistic. Rather than seeking a morality of transcendence, they adopt a morality that is based upon individual choice. It is not merely living in the world, but also an acceptance of it which must include an acceptance of responsibility for the world.
