Philosophy and literature are intertwined, with philosophy offering timeless themes and literature providing vivid illustrations of abstract thought. This text introduces students to philosophy through great literary works, divided into seven parts that explore basic concepts like Knowledge, Truth, Personal Identity, Ethics, and Justice. Literary selections from authors such as Sophocles, James Joyce, Kafka, and John Dos Passos are paired with philosophical issues, ensuring that each story lends itself to philosophical analysis. The accompanying philosophical writings include classic thinkers like Aristotle, Plato, and Locke, as well as contemporary voices such as Richard Rorty and John Rawls. Each chapter features a clear presentation of various viewpoints, often revisiting earlier articles not typically found in current texts, while balancing analytic tradition with hermeneutics and feminist philosophy. The editors introduce each chapter with an essay that weaves together the philosophical and literary pieces, concluding with discussion questions and further study suggestions. This volume serves as a valuable tool for students, illuminating both timeless and contemporary issues, and providing a memorable introduction to philosophy that they can revisit repeatedly.
