So Uncertain are the Angels (English) (Paperback)

 Ramin Jahanbegloo’s new volume brings together sixty philosophical poems that deal essentially with the two themes of life and death. Sensitive to the wonders of life, as well as the mystery of death and eternity, Jahanbegloo takes us for a walk in a metaphysical world where we can find a secret affinity between philosophy and poetry. Here, the poet puts the illusion above the thought, in the same way that the philosopher puts the idea above the verb. But whether it is with the philosopher or with the poet, Ramin Jahanbegloo confronts us with a constantly renewed sense of wonder vis-a-vis the beauty of the world.  Undoubtedly, Ramin Jahanbegloo is a poet who remains in search of truth and in dialogue with the world. Thus, by establishing a close solidarity between philosophy and poetry, he tries to play with the ambiguous powers of language, while at the same time trying to keep the pre-eminence of the poetic imagination. To listen to the world while approaching the mystery of Being is the philosophical-poetic task of Ramin Jahanbeglooin a world like ours, where ordinary language is suspicious of any quest of truth. This new volume of poems signed by Ramin Jahanbegloo is a true reminder of what Ralph Waldo Emerson said about the essence of the poet: “The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty. He is a sovereign, and stands on the centre. For the world is not painted, or adorned, but is from the beginning beautiful; and God has not made some beautiful things, but Beauty is the creator of the universe.”
