BLAKE, GINSBERG, EINSTEIN: POETIC AND SCIENTIFIC PATHS TO COSMIC RELIGION

Summary/Abstract: Starting from a reconsideration of some of Ginsberg’s poems from the perspective of both William Blake’s writings and modern scientific theory, in particular Albert Einstein, this paper will analyze the nature of the passage to a “Cosmic Religion”, embraced by a “futuristic” “Homo Cosmicus”, in Blake’s romantic programme, in Einstein’s system of thinking, and in Ginsberg’s postmodern revaluation of the nature of man’s mission on earth.
