The author demonstrates how philosophical thought is not only expressed through abstract concepts, but also can and needs to resort to images, metaphors, and literary forms to communicate its deepest ideas. A rigorous analysis that invites a rethinking of the limits of language and the expression of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from the premise that philosophy has conceived itself as a rational and scientific investigation, far removed from fiction and literary subjectivism. For its part, literature has tended to use philosophy as a mere storehouse of concepts. Faced with this view, Sánchez-Meca proposes an analysis that reveals how some of the most important philosophers have resorted to literary expression—from metaphor to narrative—to articulate their ideas. Through a journey through various currents and authors, it is shown that images and stylistic devices are not an ornament, but an essential part of the process of thought and the transmission of complex concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between philosophy and literature as forms of knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe use of metaphor and imagery in philosophical discourse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe literary expression of abstract ideas and its communicative function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the dogmatic separation between reason and fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of authors and texts where thought and literary creation converge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals of philosophy, literature, and literary theory, as well as readers interested in the intersections between rational thought and artistic creation.
