Modern philosophers with the representatives of Heidegger,and Schopenhaver,T.S. Eliot,Jung as well,have universally expressed their criticism of technological world and their dissatisfaction for the spiritual wasteland of modern man. On one hand,they spontaneously turn for help to poetic salvation,expecting the poet to undertake the mission of antagonizing the ruling of technological will,even to salivate the oppressed and decaying human spirit. On the other hand,they are explicitly against any emphasis on the poet's subjectivity,demanding the poet to give up his individual self,and totally devote himself to the call of the "desting","tradition" and "collective unconsciousness". The expectation for poetic salvation and the tendency to poet weakening is a paradox of modern author theory. It is a glorious but too hard a mission to the poet,which not only reflects the dilemma of the poet's situation in modern world,but the spiritual perplexity of modern man. Furthermore,it impels the inner turning of modern literary criticism,and helps the making of modernism in literary creation.
