Literature and Philosophy

You can’t kill literature. It killed itself, long ago. You’re too late for the death of literature.

But philosophy, on the other hand …

 

Philosophy is the only subject that can say its death. That can say, I am dead and still be meaningful.

 

You can’t kill philosophy. Philosophy’s living off its death.

So does literature, maybe.

But no one reads literature.

No one reads philosophy.

No one ever did. It’s an elite thing. An anti-elite thing.
