Ãlvaro de Campos is one of the most influential heteronyms created
by Portugalâs great modernist writer Fernando Pessoa. According
to Pessoa, Campos was born in Tavira (Algarve) in 1890 and studied
mechanical engineering in Glasgow, although he never managed to
complete his degree. In his own day, Campos was celebratedâand
slanderedâfor his vociferous poetry imbued with a
Whitman-inspired free verse, his praise of the rise of technology
and his polemical views that appeared in manifestos, interviews and
essays. Here in Margaret Jull Costa and Patricio Ferrariâs
translations are the complete poems of Campos. This edition is
based on the Portuguese Tinta-da-china edition and includes an
illuminating introduction about Campos by the Portuguese editors
Jerónimo Pizarro and Antonio Cardiello, facsimiles of original
manuscripts and a generous selection of Camposâs prose texts.
Produced on the fringes of philosophy and literary criticism, this
book is a pioneering study which aims to explicitly address and
thematize what may be called a "critical philosophy in the
condition of modernism". Its most important and original
contribution to both disciplines is a self-conscious reflection on
possible modes of writing philosophy today, and a systematic
comparison with what happened in literary modernism at the
beginning of the twentieth-century. The volume is divided into six
sections, where internationally renowned scholars discuss such
pressing topics as the role of an unreliable narrator in a major
philosophical treatise, the different mediums of art-production and
how these impact on our perception of the Work itself, the role of
narrative in animal ethics and the filmic adaption of a Modernist
classic.

This pioneering volume, for the first time, explores the
extraordinary Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) and his
relationship to philosophy. On the one hand, this book reveals
Pessoa's serious knowledge of philosophy and playful philosophical
explorations and how he has the gift of synthesizing, appropriating
and subverting complex ideas into his art; and, on the other hand,
the chapters shed new light on central aspects and problems of
philosophy through the prism of Pessoa's diverse writings. The
volume includes sixteen new essays from an international group of
scholars, analyzing Pessoa's multifaceted poetic work alongside
philosophical themes and movements, from conceptions of time,
ancient aesthetics, philosophy of language, transcendentalism,
immanence, nihilism; to Islamic philosophy, Indian philosophy,
philosophy of religion, neo-paganism, the philosophy of the self.
The breadth of his work provides a springboard for new thinking on
the aesthetic and the spiritual, the logic of value and capitalist
modernity, and ecological thought and postmodernism.
