Abstract

Eliot's lifelong meditation on the relation between physical reality and spiritual reality is the subject of this study, which reveals that the poet's early philosophical studies focused on the physics of the Presocratics and Aristotle. The author argues that Eliot found in these early theories of physics a nondualistic approach in contrast to the dualism of Descartes and the resultant division of modern philosophy into idealist and materialist camps.
