Some works of philosophy also stand as significant contributions to
literature, and some works of literature have profoundly influenced
philosophy. Written expressly for high school and college students,
this reference insightfully introduces ten widely studied works of
philosophical literature. Individual chapters discuss Plato's
Republic, Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Divine Comedy, More's
Utopia, Voltaire's Candide, Goethe's Faust, Kierkegaard's
Either/Or, Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Huxley's Brave New
World, and Borges' Labyrinths. An introductory chapter considers
such issues as the nature of philosophical literature, and the
volume closes with a selected, general bibliography. Despite
Plato's banning of poets from the ideal community, some works of
philosophy also stand as significant contributions to literature,
and some works of literature have profoundly influenced philosophy.
Such works have the power to challenge, provoke, and move the
reader, and they upset complacent assumptions and demand new
thinking. They also draw on the resources of language and
literature to explore enduring issues. Written expressly for high
school and college students, this reference conveniently introduces
ten widely studied works of philosophical literature.
