Features of poetic thinking

the present study seeks, in the context of insufficient research on the features of poetic thinking, to systematize the existing experience for the further construction of a full-fledged paradigm regarding the thought processes of poets. To do this, we set the following tasks: to determine the essence of poetic thinking; to analyze the literature on the problem of the features of poetic thinking; to formulate the main features inherent in poetic thinking. In the framework of this study, we used theoretical research methods: theoretical analysis; analysis and synthesis. An analysis of the scientific literature on the problem of poetic thinking as an object of creativity psychology demonstrated the insufficient development of the issue in the context of the last five years as a period of relevant research (the study took into account the period 2019-2024). Poetic thinking is a creative intellectual activity consisting in the ability to create images that are distinguished by an aesthetic and individual-semantic focus, which is realized in the form of a literary text Poetic thinking as a concept requires further study from the position of formulating essential features, which are the corresponding features. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, we have identified the following features of poetic thinking: non-linear construction of thought; transtemporality; metaphor; holism; undifferentiated analysis of incoming information; handling unfinished thought-images that maintain a connection with the primary emotional experience that arose from the fact of perception of certain events or objects.
