If you are already familiar with John Senior, Josef Pieper, and other likeminded writers, this paper by Dr. Stephen McInery will be no news to you. I happened on this while searching for some biographical information about John Senior, and felt it would be worth mentioning it here for anyone for anyone who has never heard of the idea of the poetica scientia. The paper is not on that idea alone, but the notion of "poetic experience" plays an important role in the larger topic of "The End of Education." This term has a broad meaning separable from poetry proper, but it should hold an important place in any philosophical analysis of literature.
