Literatura y filosofía. La literatura como problema en Deleuze o la escritura como phármakon

Abstract

Conceptions  holding  an  interdependence  between  literature

and   philosophy   are   not   new.   Against   the   currents   in   past

centuries   had   rejected   this   interdependence,   and   against

which   claimed   autonomy   of   aesthetics,   there   a   reaction   to

that   separation.   This   movement   vindicative,   whose   history

goes  back  to  the  Romantic  movement  in  the  late  eighteenth

century,  converges   to  the  late  nineteenth  and  early  twentieth

centuries  as  a  reaction  to  positivism  and  scientism.  Its  most

important   representative   of   philosophy   have   been   Dilthey,

Nietzsche,  Heidegger  and  Unamuno  among  others,  and  has

continued   more   recently   with   Gadamer,   Deleuze,   Derrida,

Ricoeur,  Rancière  and  Nussbaum.

The   aim   of   this   paper   is   to   draw   a   line   of   interpretation   on

work   by   Deleuze   in   "ʺLiterature   and   Life"ʺ,   to   establish   the

link   between   philosophy   and   literature.      To   do   his,   we   will

take  a  key  concept  the  Greek  notion  of  phármakon.  If  for  the

ancient   Greeks,   philosophy   is   phármakon,   literature   or

literary  writing  is  also  phármakon.

To  do  this,  we  will  devote  the  first  section  to  characterize  the

notion   of   Greek   phármakon.   In   the   second   section   are

plotted  interpretation  lines  of  writing  as  phármakon,  and  in

the   third,   the   literature   as   health.   Finally,   we   will   have   a

minimal   conclusions   indicate   some   criticisms   of   Deleuze'ʹs

rhizomatic  conception.
