What does it mean to consider philosophy as a species of not just
literature but world literature? The authors in this collection
explore philosophy through the lens of the "worlding" of
literature--that is, how philosophy is connected and reconnected
through global literary networks that cross borders, mix stories,
and speak in translation and dialect. Historically, much of the
world's most influential philosophy, from Plato's dialogues and
Augustine's confessions to Nietzsche's aphorisms and Sartre's
plays, was a form of literature--as well as, by extension, a form
of world literature. Philosophy as World Literature offers a
variety of accounts of how the worlding of literature problematizes
the national categorizing of philosophy and brings new meanings and
challenges to the discussion of intersections between philosophy
and literature.
