Philosophical texts have emerged in diverse genres and literary forms. Thinkers take different stands about importance of elements of these works. Some of them consider ornamental and accidental role for literary forms and the others in contrast consider philosophical implication for these elements. Philosophers’ approach to the role of literary elements of philosophical text is influential on their ways of studying history of philosophy and writing philosophical text as well. For this reason, a survey of the relation between literary form and philosophical content is of great importance. Overall purpose of this study is to examine the relation of literary forms and philosophical content. In this regard limitations and potentialities of style and literary forms are studied. The method of this research is descriptiveanalytical. Findings of this research show that the literary aspects of philosophical text are not accidental or ornamental and each genre has its own limitations and potentialities.
