| Abstract | ||
| This paper is concerned with exploring Emily Dickinson’s views on pleasurand pain and the conflict between them that results in a synthesis in which the two opposites are reconciled. The paper begins with a historical perspective on the concepts of pleasure and pain as they were tackled in different ancient schools of thought till the recent time. This is followed by an explanation of the philosophic term of “dialectic” in reference to George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), the German idealist philosopher, who is considered one of the most prominent thinkers of the 19th century. The paper then moves to discuss the major factors that led to the appearance of the dialectic phenomenon in Dickinson’s works. The second section of the paper is devoted to investigating a group of Dickinson’s poems that tackle her musings on the sensation of pleasure which represent the thesis in her dialectics. | ||
