This book discusses the dialogue between philosophy and literature, literary philosophies, philosophical literatures, and the incursions and influences between these two realms. For the lover of truth, the philosopher, literature becomes an object of endless desire. Dialogues, shared aspects, explorations, and mutual influences are some of the facets of the subject that can be satisfied by this book. Most of the studies gathered here are dedicated to authors and works from the last four centuries, where the debate between philosophy and literature has taken on the character of Modernity and its possible "overcoming." The reader will find in these pages an overview of Latin American literature and philosophy; a dialogue between philosophy and literature, particularly between Carlos Pereda's conception of the self and the unstable concepts of the self and Milan Kundera's conception; and a contextual study of the ideas expressed by Henry More in his philosophical poem entitled Psychozoia. an investigation into the presence in Hume's philosophy of literary elements that not only illustrate or exemplify philosophical elements but also form part of the theory itself; a reflection on the epistolary relationship between Edmund Husserl and Hugo von Hoffmansthal, and the affinity of the phenomenological method and pure aesthetic art; an examination of the link between genius and dilettante in Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time; an analysis of Herman Melville's Bartleby, the Scrivener, highlighting the critical nature of the main character; a reflection on reality, relativism, and metaphor in an ontological sense with regard to Diderot's Rameau's Nephew and the thought of Plato; a proposal for an epistemology of the imagination that takes shape in the theme of literature in the history of the West based on an analysis of the Great Books of the Western World collection; A consideration of Benjamin Garcia-Hernandez's proposal regarding the intertextual relationship between René Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy and Plautus' Amphitryon, and three possible modes of influence of Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe on Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
