초록
In The Waste Land and The Cocktail Party, T. S. Eliot considers the possibilities and the limitations of religious methods or paradigms (Christian, Hindu, Buddhist) to achieve self-actualization, in the former, and the possibilities and the limitations of a secular method or paradigm (psychology or psychoanalysis), in the latter. Each work approaches a point from which Eliot’s consideration could pass from a purely rational into a mystical realm, but, as in his essay “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” he does not cross the line of demarcation. It is Eliot’s restraint that leads the imagination of his reader to the “overwhelming question” that the reader must ponder and answer.
Abstract
In The Waste Land and The Cocktail Party, T. S. Eliot considers the possibilities and the limitations of religious methods or paradigms (Christian, Hindu, Buddhist) to achieve self-actualization, in the former, and the possibilities and the limitations of a secular method or paradigm (psychology or psychoanalysis), in the latter. Each work approaches a point from which Eliot’s consideration could pass from a purely rational into a mystical realm, but, as in his essay “Tradition and the Individual Talent,” he does not cross the line of demarcation. It is Eliot’s restraint that leads the imagination of his reader to the “overwhelming question” that the reader must ponder and answer.
