Product Description
Philosophy is textual - it is written and it is read - yet today much of philosophy regards itself as a kind of science, sometimes reducing itself to a species of intellectual bureaucracy. This book explores genres through the history of philosophy, providing new ways of thinking about philosophical writing. Exploring a wide range of both European and Analytic philosophers and their works - including Plato, Aristotle, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Deleuze, Wittgenstein, Derrida and Rorty - "Genres of Philosophy" explores the reading and writing of philosophers who themselves read and write, revealing the textual relation to the history of philosophy. Presenting fresh readings of classic texts in aesthetics, and offering an original approach to the question of philosophical writing, this unique analysis should prove of particular interest to readers in European philosophy, the history of philosophy, aesthetics, and literary studies.
