• W2282916890 abstract "Charles Altieri. Wallace Stevens and Demands of Modernity: Toward a Phenomenology of Value. Ithaca, NY: Cornell UP, 2013. 279 pp. In Wallace Stevens and Demands of Modernity, Charles Altieri is assiduous and dutiful in his attention to Stevens's career and to his readings of specific poems, but it is his subtitle (Toward a Phenomenology of Value) that articulates larger ambition of book, which is to stake a claim for independent value of arts. Such a defense is especially important in face of recent emphases on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). The book's overarching claim is that Stevens offers one of our richest demonstrations of pressures that Enlightenment attitudes impose on our ways of thinking, especially on our ways of formulating values that will not seem outdated or evasive of powers of science (7). STEM programs will no doubt continue to receive attention, accolades, and funds, but in this book Altieri makes a thoughtful bid to defend arts and humanities by distinguishing fact from value, or epistemology from phenomenology. Phenomenology allows Altieri to focus on experiential and affective domains of experience, topics central to his earlier book, The Particulars of Rapture. In retrospect, that Stevensian title now reads something of a harbinger to Altieri's current study. Here is how Altieri characterizes serendipity of discovering a coherent claim to unite several essays into a book while fighting good fight on behalf of Art: ... I still found myself searching for a substantial enough thesis to justify a book-length work. What kind of work does equivalence do? Why might it matter for engaging intellectual traditions shaping modernity that one thinks in terms of as relations rather than descriptions? At this point I got lucky. I was asked by our dean, Janet Broughton, to participate on a committee exploring possibility of an Institute for Study of Value at Berkeley. I immediately saw an opportunity. I wanted this institute to emphasize phenomenological aspects of values because, I see it, major threat to humanities in our culture is tendency of fields of study in sciences or in ethics or even in aesthetics to imperialize complex domains in which we experience world something to value. (viii) Altieri approaches earnest task of defending humanities with his customary vigor and acumen. At certain points, his readings of Stevens's career are also exciting and moving. The book a whole is dense, particularly for readers uninitiated in terminology, concepts, and systems of professional philosophy, to which he is profoundly devoted. The work of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein provide intellectual skeleton for this book, and while Altieri doses reader with portions of writing of each man, readers may need to take more time to absorb concepts in order to follow Altieri's line of argument. Ideally, readers will have read extensive work by each of these thinkers (along with Hegel and Husserl) and have a firm grasp of their ideas and modes of argument. A cursory acquaintance with concepts of the death of God, Dasein, or language games will not suffice. Although contour of Altieri's argument makes for rough going at times, that is due to rigor of his carefully elaborated analyses, not to unnecessary digressions or willful forays into theoretical stratospheres. (The poor editing of this book unnecessarily increases difficulty of reading it, however. Corrections should be made when it goes into a second edition.) Given its emphasis on phenomenology, Altieri's book belongs with other philosophical approaches to Stevens, but he is careful to point out how his approach differs from them. In general, difference is due to Altieri's allegiance to value instead of fact in thinking about aesthetics, literature, and Stevens. …" @default.
