Philosophy and Literature
What does philosophy think about literature? And what does literary theory tell us about philosophy?

REFLEXIONES FILOSÓFICAS SOBRE EL VINO
Este libro invita al lector a un viaje intelectual y sensorial a través del mundo del vino. Explora cómo algo tan común como un vaso de vino puede abrir puertas a profundas reflexiones filosóficas. A lo largo de sus páginas, se analiza cómo el vino, más allá de ser una simple bebida con cualidades estéticas y hedonistas, puede ser un catalizador para cuestionar nuestras experiencias subjetivas, investigar la naturaleza del placer y descubrir las complejidades de la percepción y la estética. El libro busca demostrar que incluso los aspectos más cotidianos de la vida están profundamente entrelazados con cuestiones filosóficas significativas, ofreciendo así una nueva perspectiva sobre el vino y su lugar en nuestra comprensión del mundo.
Philosophy and Literature
"What does philosophy think about literature? And what does literary theory tell us about philosophy? Find out how philosophy addresses the questions of the nature and value of literature, and how literary analysis shows that philosophy's attempts to persuade its reader seem to conflict with its self-definition as the discourse of pure and untainted reason. Discover why Plato divided philosophy and literature, banishing literature from his ideal state, and how Aristotle answered Plato's criticisms of literature. And explore how philosophy's drive to define phenomena takes us into different ways of defining literature."--
Philosophy and the Novel
Alan H. Goldman presents an original account of the relationship between philosophy and the novel. With reference to key literary works including Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, Twain's Huckleberry Finn, and Conrad's Nostromo, he defends theories of literary value and interpretation, and explores themes in novels relating to moral agency.
Philosophy and Kafka
Philosophy and Kafka is a collection of original essays interrogating the relationship of literature and philosophy. The essays either discuss specific philosophical commentaries on Kafka’s work, consider the possible relevance of certain philosophical outlooks for examining Kafka’s writings, or examine Kafka’s writings in terms of a specific philosophical theme, such as communication and subjectivity, language and meaning, knowledge and truth, the human/animal divide, justice, and freedom.
Myth and Philosophy in Plato's Phaedrus
Plato's dialogues frequently criticize traditional Greek myth, yet Plato also integrates myth with his writing. Daniel S. Werner confronts this paradox through an in-depth analysis of the Phaedrus, Plato's most mythical dialogue. Werner argues that the myths of the Phaedrus serve several complex functions: they bring nonphilosophers into the philosophical life; they offer a starting point for philosophical inquiry; they unify the dialogue as a literary and dramatic whole; they draw attention to the limits of language and the limits of knowledge; and they allow Plato to co-opt cultural authority as a way of defining and legitimating the practice of philosophy. Platonic myth, as a species of traditional tale, is thus both distinct from philosophical dialectic and similar to it. Ultimately, the most powerful effect of Platonic myth is the way in which it leads readers to participate in Plato's dialogues and to engage in a process of self-examination.
