Abstract

This article starts from the old question of the relationship or rivalry between philosophy and literature to question the current issues surrounding the crossing of these disciplines. I first summarize the philosophical problems posed by the different contemporary ways of crossing these discourse regimes. It then takes stock of the epistemological principles developed in French-speaking philosophy over the last few decades on this issue, before finally questioning the meaning that a properly «poetic» or «literary» thought could embody. Through these points, it is the form of philosophy itself that is interesting: by what methods can we account for another kind of thought, poetic or literary, and what interest is there in philosophizing «with» literature for philosophy in general?
