| Description |
In his Defence of Poesy (1579-90), Sir Philip Sidney protrays philosophy on the oone hand as "too abstract and general" and hence not useful for practical purposes while he considers history too caught in the "particular truth" that it "draweth no necessary consequence", whereas literature "coupleth the general notion with the particular exampe", and hence is the most desirable discipline among the three. Constrasts and connections between philosophical positions and literary theories and practices have been established in great number ever since Sidney's time all the way to Postmodernism. This seminar proposes to explores some of these with the aim to further the mutual understanding and relationship between philosophy and literature in students' practical and theoretical work on and about texts.
