Summary

Philosophy and Literatureintroduces clearly and concisely not only the central philosophical questions concerning the reading and interpretation of literature but also the possible cross-fertilizations between philosophy and literature. It explores the ways in which philosophy pursues questions relating to the nature and value of literature, while literary analyses can show how philosophy's modes of persuasion are in seeming conflict with its self-definition as the discourse of pure and untainted reason. Examples both from literature and philosophy are the main vehicles for the development of the argument.
