Poetic thought as art and recognizing its importance in teaching and research

Abstract

This bibliographic study analyzes poetic thinking as a legitimate form of knowledge, highlighting the interaction between art and its importance for scientific research. It also highlights the relevance of artistic narratives in the teaching and learning process, demonstrating their ability to stimulate creative thinking and critical reflection. Through an articulation with the historical-dialectical materialist method, the conditioning factors of the process of thinking and knowing as a movement of human realization are evidenced. Mészáros (2016) alludes that the Marxian conception of art aims to add a new dimension to human life, to transform it in its entirety through the fusion of this new dimension with all other vital human activities. By this concept, artistic production and consumption become inseparable aspects of the same vital activity, which can also be described as the practical aesthetic self-education of human beings. For this analysis, we draw on the works of various authors who discuss poetry as an expression of art.
