BOOK
From its beginnings, philosophy's language, concepts, and
imaginative growth have been heavily influenced by poetry and
poets. Drawing on the work of a wide range of thinkers throughout
the history of western philosophy, Raymond Barfield explores the
pervasiveness of poetry's impact on philosophy and, conversely
how philosophy has sometimes resisted or denied poetry's
influence. Although some thinkers, like Giambatista Vico and
Nietzsche, praised the wisdom of poets, and saw poetry and
philosophy as mutually beneficial pursuits, others resented
diminished or eliminated the importance of poetry in philosophy
Beginning with the famous the passage in Plato's Republic in
which Socrates exiles the poets from the city, this book traces
the history of the ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry
through the works of thinkers in the Western tradition ranging
from Plato to the work of the contemporary thinker Mikhail
Bakhtin. This new perspective provides an illuminating way of
reading philosophy that can be extended and applied to other
philosophers
