Connecting their work to that of other European thinkers dedicated to illuminating the fertile interaction of literature and philosophy-especially Plato, Schlegel, Heidegger, and Derrida-Stephen Gingerich makes a case for the relevance of Spanish thought to contemporary efforts to expand the ethical and theoretical powers of thinking through literature. At the same time, Gingerich challenges the conventional view that contemporary Spanish thought fuses or reconciles literature and philosophy, instead discerning a call to appreciate their difference in relation. For these writers, literature and philosophy are repulsed by each other as inexorably as they are drawn together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Gingerich \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Spanish at Cleveland State University.
