W. B. Yeats의 詩에 나타난 unity of being에 관한 硏究 = (A) Study on Unity of Being in W. B. Yeats's Poems

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Yeat's Unity of Being is a product of the perception of his life not of objective research. The conflict of thoughts in man's life helped him to become creative. By exploring the dual appositions in the universe, he was able to find the truth as identified in his Unity of Being.
He thought that life was a tragedy, and that man could find joy if he experienced the Unity of Being. He emphasized that Unity of Being must extend beyond one's self but to the world about him. Yeat's Unity of Being reflects his own experiences - that man can find joy in spite of the tragedies in life. His Unity of Being can be achieved when the conflicting forces come into harmony.
The will of 'rising above' and of 'being' in man's mind were contrasted as Self vs. Soul and Reason vs. Instinct. Yeats did not propose the goodness of only one aspect of each contrast. He proposed only that the contrast must be harmonious; each contrast must coexist. Life could be meaningful through the harmony of body and soul, ideal and reality, and also life and death.
Yeats framed his Unity of Being on the Mask Theory. Man has two faces. One reflects what he is and one reflects what he wants others to think of him. Again, substance and appearance must be in harmony.
Artists, especially poets, must not limit their work to their own feelings and experiences, but they must examine the world outside themselves. He said that poetic self could be revived through seeking the image Mask, and poets should only follow that image.
Yeats showed greater maturity in his later poems; especially the Byzantium poems, which reflect his Unity of Being. Byzantium is a mythological palace where its inhabitants enjoy the highest degree of a civilized society because of their implementation of Unity of Being. The features of his philosophy were reflected beautifully in these poems.
Yeats has been identified as "a symbol of poets" and "the greatest of our time - certainly the greatest in any language." His conception of life and the harmonizing of contradictions as revealed in his Unity of Being awarded him this recognition.
