You have ten seconds to plead your case: Why does philosophy

>>8765171
Philosophy is literature

Philosophy wouldn't exist without literature. The themes found literary stories and principles of philosophy are inextricably tied.

>>8765178
It's not. Are you unfamiliar with the DDS? Savages are unwelcome on /lit/.

>>8765191
You have me convinced. I apologize to you and hereby retract my first post in embarrassment.

>>8765171

There is no separate Philosophy board
Philosophy is strongly tied to the written word
/lit/ is the board for the written word

That said, philosophy threads ought to be tied to written works

>>8765171
literature is philosophical (as perhaps all things are ;^)

>>8765171

Both require similar levels of angus preparation in order to enjoy.

>>8765171
beats me

>>8765171
it doesn't, but /cgl/ for instance is also two relatedish things on a board and they're doing fine. philosofriends have done me no wrong

There's certain works of philosophy and critical theory that just read immensely well. Roland Barthes should be the model prose stylist for anyone. Writing Degree Zero is one of the best things I've read, it tells a kind of narrative while explicating and developing theories of writing without getting too jargon-y or verbose like most writers in these traditions.

Marx also had a kind of prose style about him that's unmistakable. Philosophy/Theory counts as literature because it is written in the same forms as literature, and often works through many of the same ideas

philosophy is and has always been on /his/ what the fuck

>>8765938
/his/ is fucking garbage

>>8765938
>is and has always been
how long has /his/ even existed?

>>8765993
like a year

so six times as long as that guy has been posting

This board is a place to feel superior because you have a weird hobby. Philosophy is perfect for that.
