No overall history of the philosophical dialogue has appeared since
Rudolf Hirzel's two-volume study was published in 1895. In The
Philosophical Dialogue: A Poetics and a Hermeneutics, Vittorio
Hösle covers the development of the genre from its beginning with
Plato to the late twentieth-century work of Iris Murdoch and Paul
Feyerabend. Hösle presents a taxonomy and a doctrine of categories
for the complex literary genre of the philosophical dialogue,
focusing on the poetical laws that structure the genre, and
develops hermeneutical rules for its correct interpretation.
Following an introduction that employs the categories of
subjectivity and intersubjectivity to classify philosophy's modes
of expression, Hösle's book is structured by the classical triad
of the production, inner structure, and reception of the literary
dialogue. To explain what is meant by "philosophical dialogue,"
Hösle first deals with the specific traits of philosophical
dialogue in contrast to other literary forms of philosophy and its
special status among them. Second, he distinguishes the
philosophical dialogue as a literary genre from actual
philosophical conversation, and as a philosophical literary genre
from nonphilosophical literary dialogues. Finally, he takes up the
connection between literary form and philosophical content in the
philosophical dialogue. Numerous authors of dialogues are
discussed, with a special focus on Plato, Cicero, Augustine, Hume,
and Diderot. Originally published in Germany as Der philosophische
Dialog: Eine Poetik und Hermeneutik (2006), this book not only
contributes to the philosophical discussion of dialogue but to a
great extent defines it. This fine translation will prove useful to
both philosophers and literary critics in the English-speaking
world.
