Philosophers' Poets, Hardback Book

Philosophers' Poets Hardback

Edited by David Wood

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Hardback

Description

First published in 1990, Philosophers’ Poets is a collection of case studies of philosophers’ readings of poets and other distinctive writers.

There are those, for example, who find in literary examples ways of exploring the concrete significance of philosophical assertions or distinctions.

Others find in poetic discourse linguistic resources simply not available to philosophy, yet of vital importance to it.

This is particularly true of philosophers of the limit, such as Heidegger, Derrida, Levinas and Adorno, for whom the very possibility of philosophy was in question.

Despite the diversity of subjects covered, the collection maintains an integrity and identity.

Above all, it shows how contemporary Continental philosophy raises the issue of philosophy and literature anew in a way that is appealing and challenging.
