This book is the first collection of essays to discuss Oscar Wilde love and vast knowledge of philosophy.  Over the past few decades, Oscar Wilde scholars have become increasingly aware of Wilde love and intimate knowledge of philosophy. Wilde “Oxford Notebooks� and his soon-to-be-published “Notebook on Philosophy� all point to Wilde not just as an aesthete, but also as a serious philosophical thinker.  The aim of this collection is not to make the statement that Wilde was a philosopher, or that his works were philosophical tracts. Rather, it provides a space to explore any and all linkages between Wilde works and philosophical thought. Addressing a broad spectrum of philosophical matter, from classical philology to Daoism, ethics to aestheticism, this collection enriches the literature on Wilde and philosophy alike.
