초록
John Keats is skeptical about knowing with certainty any kind of transcendent or higher reality. The nature of his thought and works is related to and surrounded by skepticism. This skepticism is about a belief in some kind of transcendent reality of traditional religion, Christianity. A number of Keats's works explain Christianity in terms of skepticism rooted in much of his thought. I will consider how deep this skepticism runs in him and his works. Keats considers Christianity as a phenomenon sinking into oblivion. Christianity can no longer meet human needs and provide comfort. Together with Keats's religious skepticism, he focuses on the inevitability of suffering in the world. The "vale of Soul-making" passage is about a solution to the problem of suffering. An antipathy to any solution that thinks lightly of the human realities of suffering leads us his salvation system. It is in direct opposition to the traditional Christian doctrine. Keats explains salvation will be fulfilled not in some afterlife but in this world. Any consolation must be based not on a metaphysical things but on earthly things. This is the Keatsian salvation system and a fully humanized religion of Beauty rooted in skepticism. The function of a religion of beauty is to provide life with beauty. Beauty, for Keats, makes a human being want to live in and connects him with the earth. Ultimately it gives life to human and makes him to affirm life.
