John Keats‘s concept of―negative capability,‖a significant asset within the realm of literary theory, has engendered a multitude of discussions spanning diverse disciplines including art, religion, and philosophy. In Keats and Negative Capability, Li Ou traces the evolution of this pivotal term, traversing the expanse from the Romantic era to the modernist milieu. She perceives it as an organic conception with intrinsic vitality that undergoes perpetual maturation. Expanding upon Li‘s comprehensive analysis of this term, this study aims to explore the harmonious coalescence between―negative capability‖and the core tenet of emptiness in Buddhism. The scholarly examinations of the spiritual correlation between Romantic selfless ontology and Buddhist emptiness furnish the theoretical foundation upon which this study is predicated. The contact point between negative capability and emptiness starts from Keats‘s dissolution of self and other, which in turn brings forth the blurring of distinctions between life and death, pleasure and pain. The deconstruction of the three sets of binary opposition reveals their inconstancy and lack of inherent essence, resonating with Buddhist insight into the emptiness of worldly phenomena. Within the context of Buddhist emptiness, Keats‘s negative capability suggests a transformative potential within the cycle of suffering. |
