This is a wide-ranging anthology that examines, in chronological
order, several genres that have been prominent in the history of
Western philosophy. The programmatic introduction outlines the
diverse range of genres used by philosophers (dialogue, commentary,
biography, etc.) and explains how genre-based exegesis can enrich
our analysis and interpretation of philosophical texts. The
remaining essays examine individual texts from this perspective.
This examination begins with two studies of Plato's dialogues. It
then turns to three studies of ancient and medieval texts in which
genre is used to explore the boundaries of 'philosophy.' The next
eight essays examine representative philosophical works from the
Middle Ages to the present. The epilogue considers how disparate
genres and styles may be used to establish different ethical
relationships between the author, the audience, and the subject
matter.
