초록
W. B. Yeats overlaps and juxtaposes Plato’s ideas with his own poetic images and symbols, exemplifying the universality of Yeats’s ideas. Based on Plato’s definition of art and beauty, and Daimon, he develops his original notions in the early period. But in using the images and symbols of Plato such as the theory of Form, or that of Idea, the immortality of the souls, the cycles of Ur., and a spindle, he definitively establishes the cycles of reincarnation, the inevitability of love, tolerance, and the cycles of history. He does this in pursuit of his ‘ultimate reality.’ Therefore, he declares that a completion of ultimate reality, that is, the universal wisdom of mankind, can be reached by contrasting the system of his ideas with Plato’s philosophy, when read through the lens of various religious ideas.
Abstract
W. B. Yeats overlaps and juxtaposes Plato’s ideas with his own poetic images and symbols, exemplifying the universality of Yeats’s ideas. Based on Plato’s definition of art and beauty, and Daimon, he develops his original notions in the early period. But in using the images and symbols of Plato such as the theory of Form, or that of Idea, the immortality of the souls, the cycles of Ur., and a spindle, he definitively establishes the cycles of reincarnation, the inevitability of love, tolerance, and the cycles of history. He does this in pursuit of his ‘ultimate reality.’ Therefore, he declares that a completion of ultimate reality, that is, the universal wisdom of mankind, can be reached by contrasting the system of his ideas with Plato’s philosophy, when read through the lens of various religious ideas.
