I agree with you regarding Bryce's gravity analogy, though I couldn't have stated it as well as you did: empirical vs. phenomenological. <br /><br />As a poet (and a human being) I've always been fascinated with physics, especially how it frames the experience of time and space. It's as if there's a language in physics that helps me go deeper into the poetic language I strive for. Science and art truly complement each other.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754785071196846157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641638.post-17665575127540628892011-04-19T22:29:43.354-04:002011-04-19T22:29:43.354-04:00I can relate with Bryce.

Although, I am not a scientist, my educational background in philosophy and theology taught me how to be theoretical and logical in reasoning, purely cognitive, which is often bland and boring? But when you contextualize and put emotion on what you are writing either science or philosophy, for me, that is art - creative thinking or writing, like his poem “Laboratory Philosophy,” I can feel the humor and the humanity of the scientist. <br /><br />Bryce’s example of “gravity” between empirical, in the parlance of science, and phenomenological as “part of human condition” is a vivid analogy between art and science. Art goes beyond what science can’t reach in the human ‘sensation.’ <br /><br />Thanks, Amy, for this wonderful piece :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479613153214548166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641638.post-30923100677402791062011-04-19T22:22:32.745-04:002011-04-19T22:22:32.745-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479613153214548166noreply@blogger.com
