Stanley Rosen 
Quarrel Between Philosophy and Poetry [EPUB ebook] 
Studies in Ancient Thought

Now available in paperback, The Quarrel Between Philosophyand Poetry focuses on the theoretical and practical suppositions of the long-standing conflict between philosophy and poetry. Stanley Rosen–one of the leading Plato scholars of our day–examines philosophical activity, questioning whether technical philosophy is a species of poetry, a political program, an interpretation of human existence according to the ideas of 19th and 20th-century thinkers, or a contemplation of beings and Being.
