초록
In The Book of Urizen Blake attempts to subvert the established view of the myth of creation, man's place in the cosmos, and the Lockean epistemology. He tries to achieve his goal not by means of what he sees as the Biblical and Miltonic mode of prophecy through monological messages, but by means of heuristic mode of prophecy with the same motive as that behind the Hebrew prophets' symbolic acts as Blake conceives it. Reading The Book of Urizen involves a removing of preconception and a replacing of normal logical sequential thinking with imaginative making of fresh meanings out of a disjoined, supra-natural narrative. The text prompts our minds to discover meanings through processing the layers of seemingly contradictory allusions, and to recognize the pattern of error recurrent in all activities of all spaces. Finally, Blake uses his own "Visionay forms dramatic" and will deliver the reader's mind from the confines of established conceptions and conventional modes of thinking and will awaken our dormant capacity for perception of the infinite in the world.
