This article examines the way Keats uses aesthetic in his poetry through the analysis of his poetic methods and forms that seem to allow or support the creation of new perceptions of what is beautiful, knowledgeable, and real. These perceptions—although they are a mixture created based on ancient (Platonic) and eighteenth-century (Kantian) philosophy about what is Real and Reality—also impressively lie on an agreement with a contemporary subset of Speculative Realism. The theoretical orientation of Object-Oriented Ontology and much of the poesy of John Keats share an enduring exploration of the aesthetic object as an enticing experience of understanding the nature of reality. The exploration of the aesthetic element in Keats’ poetry can be viewed as an aestheticized ontological synopsis highlighting even future significant inquiries of Philosophical Realism.

ESTETİK VE GERÇEKLİK: JOHN KEATS SANATINDA SÜREKLİ GERÇEKÇİLİK

Öz

Bu makale Keats'in şiirinde estetiği
kullanma biçimini inceliyor. İnceleme; güzel, bilgili ve gerçek olanın yeni
algılarının yaratılmasına izin veren veya destekleyen şiirsel yöntemlerinin ve
biçimlerinin analizini kapsıyor. Bu algılar her ne kadar gerçek ve gerçeklik
hakkında eski (platonik) ve on sekizinci yüzyıl (Kantçı) felsefesine dayanan
bir karışım olsalar da aynı zamanda etkileyici bir şekilde spekülatif
gerçekçiliğin çağdaş bir alt kümesiyle yapılan bir anlaşmaya dayanıyor. Nesne
yönelimli ontolojinin teorik yaklaşımı ve John Keats'in şiirinin çoğu estetik
nesnenin kalıcı bir keşfini, gerçekliğin doğasını anlamayı ilgi çekici bir
deneyim olarak belirtiyor. Keats'in şiirindeki estetiğin keşfi, felsefi gerçekçiliğin
gelecekteki önemli soruların bile üzerinde duran estetik bir ontolojik özet
olabilir.
