from Part VI - Some Extensions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 November 2021
The philosophical study of the intersections between philosophy and literature can be roughly divided into two fields, namely, philosophy and literature and philosophy of literature. Works falling under philosophy and literature examine philosophy as a genre of literature or the literary features of individual philosophical works (philosophy as literature) or the philosophical aspects of particular literary works (literature as philosophy). Philosophy of literature, in turn, consists of systematic exploration of general issues related to literature from the viewpoints of logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. Rather than individual literary or philosophical works, philosophy of literature focuses on more global matters, such as the concept of fiction or the principles of literary interpretation.
