Philosophical poem


Philosophical Poem - a genre of didactic literature similar to a didactic poem, a poem dedicated to philosophical doctrine, and sometimes also to philosophical or scientific doctrine.

The first philosophical texts of the West were philosophical poems. Probably the oldest of them was poem Περὶ φύσεως (Peri physeos, O nature) Anaxymandra. The custom of expressing one's thoughts in the form of a poem was widespread among the pre-Socratic philosophers of nature, and most of the resulting works were also called Περὶ φύσεως. In the later philosophy of the ancient, philosophical poems became rarer (the most famous of them being the De Rerum nature of Lucrezia), and in the later philosophy they almost disappeared.
