Is Philosophy Literature?

[ladjf]

2. One definition of literature is:

"writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays."

A dictionary definition of Philosophy: "the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct."

I agree with those two definitions. In my opinion, philosophy is the science of investigating the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.

I consider literature to be an art for human expression usually dealing with the condition of life.
