poetism: belief that imaginative insight and a mysteriously privileged sensibility can tell us all the answers that are truly worthy of being sought or being known...

Not sure, but I think I read this in the mid-70s, when it came to me as part of a subscription to new paperback releases from Doubleday & Anchor Books. And I think it introduced me to the mind-body problem in philosophy.

Presented quite a few freshing insights. Enjoyable.
