>Philosophy is major poetry.
Er - I'd say Tractatus might qualify. Bits of The Gay Science. Some of
more extreme passages of EM Cioran - and no doubt others
so I'm not against the idea.
But I think that on the whole, that is manifestly not the case. I rather
incline to Baudelaire's comment: that "poetry must be a debacle of the
intellect".
