Despite philosophers' growing interest in the relation between
philosophy and literature in general, over the last few decades
comparatively few studies have been published dealing more narrowly
with the literary aspects of philosophical texts. The relationship
between philosophy and literature is too often taken to be
"literature as philosophy" and very rarely "philosophy as
literature." It is the dissatisfaction with this one-sidedness that
lies at the heart of the present volume. Philosophy has nothing to
lose by engaging in a serious process of literary self-analysis. On
the contrary, such an exercise would most likely make it stronger,
more sophisticated, more playful and especially more
self-reflexive. By not moving in this direction, philosophy places
itself in the position of not following what has been deemed, since
Socrates at least, the worthiest of all philosophical ideals:
self-knowledge. This book was originally published as a special
issue of The European Legacy.
