Poetry in the Cosmos.

In the book "Cosmic Connections: Poetry in the Age of Disenchantment" by Charles Taylor, the author explores the nature of secularity and the diversification of religious belief and practice in our modern secular age. Taylor examines the historical period from the rise of Romanticism to the aftermath of modernism, focusing on how experiences of fullness and connection to the transcendent have shifted over time. He discusses various poets, such as Wordsworth, Hölderlin, Hopkins, Rilke, Baudelaire, T.S. Eliot, and Czesław Miłosz, and their attempts to find meaning and depth in a disenchanted world. While Taylor's book has some loose ends and limitations, it offers a valuable exploration of how poets have sought to overcome the disenchanted vision of reality and provides substantial accounts of reality that challenge the philosophy of disenchantment.
