자유민주주의 체제의 시정신-해방기 우익계열의 시정신을 중심으로

Abstract

Purity is the nature of poesy in a democratic society, meaning that artistic aspects of poetry is the most valuable. Based on this assumption, the present paper examines the nature of pure poetry in terms of autonomy and individuality, sociality and universality, and eternity and globality. First of all, the autonomy and individuality of poetry are concerned with artistic characteristics of poetry. That is, poetry gets its individuality only when it is free from politics, political parties, and utility. Secondly, the sociality and universality are concerned with ideas and objects poetry attempts to express. It means that reality for people would be the object of pure poetry as far as such reality arouses one’s sympathy. Thirdly, the eternity and globality are concerned with the limit of poetry, which means that pure poetry should be always valuable to everybody beyond time and space. Thus, pure poetry should deal with common problems everybody might have. By doing this, folk poetry becomes world-wide poetry. We can tell that poesy of rightists is pure poetry, which is world-wide poetry as well as folk poetry. We thus think that the rightists’ perspectives on poetry are more persuasive than leftists’ perspectives having illiberality, exclusivism and factionalism.
