Art, split and unity

Hölderlin, a German poet cited and praised by Heidegger, also
maintained intimacy with philosophy, in one of his little-known writings he contested the “absolute self”, but it is also necessary to question a precise “we” to a bubble, to a hierarchical world and stylized, in the poet’s perspective, consciousness without an object would be inconceivable and every judgment presupposes the world, which is very close to the awareness of something that phenomenology proposes.
The theoretical principles of a philosophy of history, very close to the view of Gadamer’s historical consciousness, were developed as divided into three periods: the unity, the split and the recovery of nature (in the form of the naturalness of art), however Hölderlin treated also from the aortic, and one could think of the real recovery of nature, in pandemic times it seems to breathe: fish, birds and animals reappear, the air is lighter and it seems that nature is grateful.
The split, which causes man to face so many contradictions and inequalities, is also said Rousseau, a condition of freedom, however when faced with indignities and injustices this condition seems to be threatened, the poet used poetry as a “Harmonic opposition” between the self and the world, but it claims a third, poetic and harmonic in which the world of texts inhabits, as Roland Barthes supposed, says in his poetry Half of Life:
Where is it winter, find the flowers, and where the sunlight and the shadows of the earth? ”
In the end, only “walls and flags in the wind” remain
The poem itself is half that cannot be completed without the reader and the world.
It is also uncertainty, according to beautiful image of the “song of the destiny of Hyperion”:
“Like water from cliff to cliff, poured incessantly into the uncertain”.
Hyperion’s destiny song says:
You walk up there in the light
On soft ground, happy geniuses! Sparkling divine breezes
They touch you lightly
Like the fingers of the artist Sacred strings.
What Hölderlin inspires me is the differentiation between thinking and philosophizing, Heidegger also discarded the second, in the case of the poet his life and work cause relations between thought and poetry, and this one in a new relationship with philosophy, there is no poets soon neither philosophers.
