text: In fact, in order to understand the origins of a philosophy or a philosophical tradition effectively, we have to face the following questions: What are the fundamental concepts or categories of that philosophical tradition? In which theoretical contexts are they asserted or presented? What is the underlying view of reality which leads to or is presupposed in the philosophical understanding or assertion? What is the guiding methodology or way of thinking for the philosophical idea or ideas? Finally, what kind of cultural experiences or ideals define or give rise to this way of thinking or this way of forming a view? These questions define our three senses of ‘origins’ in a reverse order, namely historicity, practicality and theoreticity.

text: Faguet answers Voltaire’s remarks upon the famous couplet of Rodogune: “Il est des noeuds secrets, il est des sympathies . . .” to the effect that “the poet is always himself talking and that passion does not thus express itself,” by saying that people are accustomed to express themselves in this way, that is to say, in the form of general ideas, when they are calm, as though the question could be settled with an appeal to the reality of ordinary life, whereas on the contrary it is a question of poeticity, that is to say, of the tragic situation, which by its own nature, excludes couplets in certain cases, however well turned they be.

text: By ‘I am the door’ he meant to say, in the poetical form peculiar to the Arab (Semitic) mind, that the new way of life and being which he was teaching is ‘the way, the truth and the life’. To understand this, as Barth and Western Christianity with their peculiarly un-Arab (un-Semitic) mind do understand, as meaning that Jesus was there advocating (or to use the American slang, ‘selling’) his own person, rather than ‘the will of my Father’ is crude, to say the least, and points to the ‘unpoeticality’ of the mould into which Western Christian consciousness had been moulded through the ages.

text: George “translates” into “poetic language” what in Baudelaire breaks out of it. All the things the “poetic” avoids—industry, social unrest, technology—become materials for Baudelaire not in spite of their unpoeticness but because of it.
ref: 2003, Barbara Johnson, “The Task of the Translator”, in Mother Tongues: Sexuality, Trials, Motherhood, Translation, Cambridge, Mass.; London: Harvard University Press, →ISBN, page 43:
text: What in historical, rhetorical and geographical writing was a move from poetic discourse to ‘poetic’ but unmetrical prose and then to ‘prosaic prose’ is (partially) analogised by comedy, which has a genetic relationship (of some kind) with tragedy, but which has also been brought down to its current ‘prosaic’ linguistic form.³⁹

text: Thus, it is the issue of heritage that weighs on the poetic production of the 1980s. But, as the persistence of certain motifs of realistic “unpoeticity” demonstrate, this inheritance that leans more toward the esthetic than the engagé did not lead to the hermetic and hermeticizing ivory tower.
ref: 1997 spring, Roberto Deidier, “Looking at the 1980s: Some Notes Linking Poetics and Poetry”, in World Literature Today, volume 71, number 2, Norman, Okla.: University of Oklahoma, →ISSN, →JSTOR, page 256, column 1:
text: In Heidegger, we become losers of the poetic in the world whose unpoeticity “derives from a curious excess of frantic measuring and calculating” (Heidegger 2001: 226), that is to say from finitude, from the very possibility of quantification. The degree of poeticity seems to be increasing in Heidegger with the decrease of calculation, evaluation and predictability.
