Petite philosophie de la métaphore

Resumen

The thesis put forward in this paper, which enables us to think of the movement and space between philosophy and literature, is that we enter literature through the device of metaphor, understood poetically, and that metaphor enables philosophy to radically rethink what it means by concept. In other words, if it is a matter of producing a concept of metaphor, this cannot be done from the position of classical metaphysics inherited from Plato and Aristotle. Rather, metaphor forces us to rethink the foundations and destiny of philosophy as the experience of the improper, the foreign, the strange, in short, of difference. Through the play of difference and metaphor, and their ability to see the world in an alternative way, a new proximity between philosophy and literature is made possible.
