Entanglements of Philosophy and Poetry: Contemporary Positions

2024-08-31

Poetry and philosophy share at least one thing in common. It is that both are language dependent.

From here on they diverge considerably. As reflected in the quotes at the beginning, philosophers are aware of the difficult relationship that poetry and philosophy shares. At times they are dismissive of each other, at other they think they have the same project, and sometimes want to keep their domains guarded even though they acknowledge each other’s existence and are respectful. They are certain though that they are distinct intellectual and creative activities in unique relationship to their notions of reality, truth, and beauty.
