Literary Philosophers: Borges, Calvino, Eco
Jorge J.E. Gracia, Carolyn Korsmeyer, Rodolphe Gasché
A provocative exploration of the complex relation between literature and philosophy considered through an examination of the work of three world-renowned literary figures.
Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Umberto Eco are as noted for the intriguing philosophical puzzles they present as they are for their inventive literary styles. Only Eco was trained in philosophy, but all three authors share a distinctive fascination with areas of philosophy not often broached in fiction. Literary Philosophers brings together a group of distinguished philosophers, literary scholars, and comparativists to explore and debate the relationship between philosophy and literature in the works of these brilliant literary authors.
