Although an alleged quarrel between philosophy and poetry has ancient roots and a history extending into the present, rigid distinctions between the two have been difficult to maintain. Philosophy is a mode of writing, and one that often utilizes literary and poetic devices, sometimes without explicit awareness or design on the philosopher's part, while poetry can reveal philosophical lines of questioning and modes of response that go to the heart of human existence. Bloomsbury Studies in Philosophy and Poetry explores ancient, modern, and contemporary texts in ways that are sensitive to philosophical themes and problems that can be fruitfully addressed through poetic modes of writing, and focused on questions of style, the relations between form and content, and the conduciveness of literary modes of expression to philosophical inquiry. With a keen interest in the intertwining of poetry and philosophy in all forms, the series will cover the philosophical register of poetry, the poetics of philosophical writing, and the literary strategies of philosophers. The series provides a home for work on figures across geographical landscapes, with contributions that employ a wide range of methods across academic disciplines, and without regard for divisions within philosophy, between analytic and continental, for example, that have outworn their usefulness. Featuring single-authored works and edited collections, curated by an international editorial board, the series aims to redefine how we read and discuss philosophy and poetry today.
