Here the focus is more specifically upon his poetics: a body of reflections on the nature of poetry and the meaning of the poet's vocation. These are found in poems and letters, in difficult (and often fragmentary) theoretical writings, and -- in the case of the 'Pindar Fragments' -- texts in which the distinction between poetry and theoretical reflection seems to be overcome. Although Hderlin's poetics is considered from various points of view, the themes that emerge most frequently are Hderlin's notion of a 'poetic law' or 'poetic logic', and his conception of tragedy and of what might be called the 'anti-tragic'. Also included is a new translation of Hderlin's 'Notes' on Sophocles, which are here provided with a commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Lewis received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Cambridge University.
