Between Literature and Philosophy: An Existential Relationship When Boundaries Dissolve

Abstract

This research paper represents an inquiry within the scope of the title (Between Literature and Philosophy: An Existential Relationship When Boundaries , aiming to unveil the secrets of the relationship between them. It presents two distinct perspectives: the first constitutes a reading grounded in literature, while the second is a reading guided by philosophy. The first reading views the relationship between literature and philosophy through the influence of imagination, narrative forms, and romanticism, whereas the philosophical reading examines the relationship through the lens of rational and argumentative inquiry.

Positioned between these two, we attempt, to journey through the history of knowledge, tracking the transformations in philosophical discourses and their relationship with literary expressive forms. This is done with the aim of dissolving the boundaries between literature and philosophy, thereby revealing the secrets of their relationship – which is ultimately identified as an existential one.
