Abstract:Many of the poems and essays of Louis MacNeice display a knowledge of the philosophical theories he studied during his undergraduate years in Merton College, Oxford. In his "Variation on Heraclitus" and in several other poems, MacNeice alludes to the "doctrine of flux" that Plato attributed to the Greek thinker Heraclitus of Ephesus. Though the view of Heraclitus as the champion of flux is controversial, it provided MacNeice with a framework within which to reflect on the conditions essential to living a free and productive life.
期刊介绍:
For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
