Exploring the interplay between philosophy and literature, this work examines how philosophical thought engages with poetic wisdom. It begins with a reinterpretation of Plato's critique of Homer and progresses through Renaissance humanism and Hegelian Idealism. The book analyzes four dimensions: philosophy as literature, philosophy of literature, philosophy in literature, and the relationship between both fields, using examples like Borges's The Immortal and Joyce's Finnegans Wake. It emphasizes the enduring significance of literature and philosophy amidst contemporary literary interpretations.
