An examination of the interplays and tensions between literature and philosophy. Possible themes include: the 'literary' expression of philosophical ideas; the ancient 'quarrel of the poets and philosophers'; the relation of form to content in philosophical writing, and the immense variety of philosophical genres (e.g. aphorism, essai, confession, treatise, dialogue, manifesto, meditation, etc.); the philosophical content and significance of certain 'literary' works and forms; and philosophical problems regarding translation, adaptation, and interpretation. Topics and texts will vary according to instructor.
