Notes on the relationship between philosophy and literature in Franklin Leopoldo e Silva’s work

Abstract

The article deals with the general aspects of the articulation between philosophy and literature as present in Franklin Leopoldo e Silva’s work. Drawing on a certain tension between the activity of the philosopher and that of the philosophy professor, the text goes through elements in Franklin's works dedicated to Proust, Bergson and Sartre that allow us to delimit the relationship of distance and proximity between the literary and philosophical genres. It is proposed, in absentia of the philosopher/professor, that his work evidences a certain stage in the development of philosophy in Brazil, marked by systematic dialog with the philosophical tradition, combining intellectual rigor and creative synthesis, allowing what we call co-authorship.
