Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Work Toward Knowing: Beginning with Blake by Jim Watt is not just a book about William Blake; it is an invitation into a radically different way of seeing, learning, and being.Blending literary insight, spiritual inquiry, and lived classroom experience, Watt guides readers into the rich, often challenging world of Blake's poetry and vision. But this is no conventional academic study. Instead, Work Toward Knowing unfolds as a dynamic journey-part memoir, part philosophical exploration, part teaching manifesto-where understanding is not handed down, but discovered through active engagement.At its heart, the book explores Blake's central idea that reality cannot be grasped through reason alone. True knowing requires the full participation of the human being-mind, body, emotion, and imagination. Through vivid anecdotes, including transformative classroom encounters and deeply personal reflections, Watt shows how Blake's work awakens readers to a "fourfold vision," where art, spirituality, and daily life converge.Readers are encouraged not just to interpret Blake, but to experience him-to move beyond passive reading into a participatory process of attention, creativity, and connection. In doing so, the book becomes a guide for anyone seeking deeper meaning in art, education, and their own existence.Accessible yet profound, Work Toward Knowing speaks to students, teachers, artists, and spiritual seekers alike. It challenges modern assumptions about knowledge, dismantles rigid intellectual frameworks, and offers a compelling vision of learning as transformation. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
