What is poetic wisdom? A good example is poetic-physics. The reason why your voice echos when you shout in a canyon is because the nymph Echo is repeating your words as she did for her unrequited love Narcissus, not the physics of vibrations reflecting off rocks.

Think of any field of knowledge and prefix it with poetic-. Poetic-X is how the human mind in it's normal state represents and understands the world, man has a pre-rational pre-Kantian mind that the rational-Kantian mind builds on and makes excursions to. But the poetic mind is always there and almost always the more powerful synthesizer of sense data and producer of ideas.

Vico's New Science is a study of this poetic wisdom
