Through a comprehensive exploration of thinkers ranging from Socrates and Confucius to Foucault and Simone de Beauvoir, Richard Shusterman examines the potential roles that literature could play in shaping a vision of philosophy as an inherently lived experience rather than merely a written one. To achieve this, Shusterman pays particular attention to authors who straddle the boundaries between literature and philosophy, such as Augustine and Montaigne, Wordsworth and Kierkegaard, T.S. Eliot, Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, and Bertrand Russell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book concludes with a chapter on the Chinese art of writing, which combines poetry, calligraphy, and painting, offering a unique perspective on the interplay between philosophy and artistic expression. This work is of interest to students and researchers in literary theory and philosophy, as well as to individuals who are passionate about exploring the broader realm of philosophical inquiry. By bridging the gap between these two fields, Philosophy and the Art of Writing offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the nature of knowledge, truth, and the human experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032230801\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RichardShusterman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179469857018,"sku":"9781032230801","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d7dc16b4-a3c4-4c83-9269-f5ec9a02338a.jpg?v=1707753988","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/philosophy-and-the-art-of-writing-9781032230801","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
