Abstract
John Keats, one of the leading Romantic poet, was the first one who coined the term’ negative capability’ in his poetry. It is that characteristic feature that enables a poet to live in uncertainty, doubts and confusions. This term is totally opposed to a preference for philosophical certainty over artistic beauty. Different philosophers and poets have used the term ’negative capability’ as the capacity of an individual to perceive, think and operate any presupposition of a predetermined ability of the human beings.
