Abstract

Literature and philosophy have moved side by side throughout history. But since ancient times, some poets and philosophers considered the presence of each other as a cause of destruction. Despite the fact that philosophical thoughts about the function of literature have been prevalent for a long time, the philosophy of literature has recently emerged as an independent field And it seems that the book Philosophy of Literature, authored by Peter Lamarck, is a pioneering work in this field. In this article, an attempt has been made to review the mentioned work. In formal criticism, such things as the author's writing style, writing style, referencing style, bibliographic information and transliteration have been discussed. In content criticism, each chapter is discussed separately according to its purpose. Based on the formal and content analyzes presented in this article, this work is an introductory book, with an analytical approach that the author did not deal with criticism, meta-criticism or literary theory; Rather, he has expressed arguments in the field of what is, function and aesthetics of literature.
