In this course
Whitman appears only as a passing reference in these course excerpts and does not substantively feature in the readings provided. The fragments shown concern Sartre on trolling and social capital rather than Whitman's poetic or philosophical contributions. Without fuller context from the syllabus, his relevance to Pandaemonium Architecture remains unclear from these selections.
Background
Walter Whitman Jr. was an American poet, essayist, and journalist; he also wrote two novels. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American literature and world literature. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality.
