The nature of the self:
The potential topics you can write about are open-ended. You are going to write about author, Hoelderlin (I have uploaded the poems of his)
Whatever you choose to write about, just make sure you have specific quotes from the poems that can support your arguments.
NOTE: the document “IMPORTANT_Writing a thesis.pdf” is a must read for this assignment.
Below are a few sample questions given in class:
– What is the nature of the self?
– What is the relationship between the author and his work?
– What is the value of poetic language?
– What is the function of art and poetry?
– What is the relationship between things and words?
– What remains ineffable in the poet’s work?
