Between Literature and Philosophy. Frameworks for Analysing Cioran’s Oeuvre

Summary/Abstract: The controversies surrounding the possibility of approaching Cioran’s oeuvre as quintessentially philosophical or literary arise not just from personal or subjective interpretive codes but also from the different ways in which the two disciplines may be conceived and defined. A brief overview of some of these critical perspectives will reveal areas of agreement and disagreement about the nature of his writings and the larger frame of the relations between philosophy and literature. Moreover, tapping into Cioran’s two-pronged views on literature may reveal a conceptual bridge between these interpretations.
