The concepts of philosophy and imaginative literature have unclear boundaries and blurred edges; they can hardly be defined essentially in any fruitful manner. But we can talk of indicators of a text being philosophical or literary. The concepts of philosophy and literature are contestable. Further, there are no clear-cut signs of cognitive progress in philosophy and literature. It is also far from certain that there are any philosophical or literary truths. Actually, works of philosophy and literature deal more in possibilities than in actualities. In addition, fictional narratives play an important role in both philosophical and literary texts. Moreover, philosophy and literature share a tendency to thematize themselves, reflect on themselves. If, however, argumentation were to disappear entirely from all philosophical texts, while every literary text is dominated by argumentative discourse, then the concepts of literature and philosophy would become almost devoid of content. Despite this, there is no gap between philosophy and imaginative literature.

哲学与文学：无间隙理论

哲学和想象文学的概念界限不清晰，边缘模糊；基本上很难以任何富有成效的方式来定义它们。但我们可以谈论文本是哲学或文学的指标。哲学和文学的概念是有争议的。此外，在哲学和文学中没有明显的认知进步迹象。也远不能确定是否存在任何哲学或文学真理。实际上，哲学和文学作品更多地涉及可能性而不是现实。此外，虚构叙事在哲学和文学文本中都发挥着重要作用。此外，哲学和文学都倾向于将自己主题化，反思自己。然而，如果论证从所有哲学文本中完全消失，当每一个文学文本都以议论话语为主时，文学和哲学的概念就会变得几乎没有内容。尽管如此，哲学和想象文学之间并没有鸿沟。
