Bringing together eight previously published essays by M. W. Rowe
and a substantial new study of Larkin, this book emphasizes the
profound affinities between philosophy and literature. Ranging over
Plato, Shakespeare, Goethe, Arnold and Wittgenstein, the first five
essays explore an anti-theoretical conception of philosophy. This
sees the subject as less concerned with abstract arguments that
result in theories, than with prompts intended to induce clarity of
vision and psychical harmony. On this understanding, philosophy
looks more like literature than logic. Conversely, the last four
essays argue that literature is centrally concerned with truth and
abstract thought, and that literature is therefore a more cognitive
and philosophical enterprise than is commonly supposed.
