Rudrum D. (Edited) Literature and Philosophy. A Guide to Contemporary Debates

Palgrave Macmillan, 2006. — 261 p. — ISBN10: 1-4039-4773-2The book as a whole is an attempt to represent the burgeoning field of ‘literature and philosophy’ at its most diverse. It does not attempt to offer nor to advance any particular philosophy of literature, nor to philosophize any particular aspect or body of literature, nor to dragoon philosophy into the service of literary criticism or vice versa. Its aim is to appeal to philosophers and literary critics or theorists of every stamp and shade of opinion, without privileging either discipline (or any of their countless subdisciplines) over the other, and to provide a guide to the vast spectrum of thought involved in the contemporary debates between literature and philosophy.
