Abstract
The debate on the relationship between poetry and philosophy has been going on for a long time in the West, during which many views have been produced, there is both advocating strict separation of the two and trying to integrate poetry and philosophy. However, those attempts are often limited to the position of dualism, and there is always a clear gap between philosophy and poetry. After entering the 20th century, especially under the influence of phenomenology, philosophy itself calls for the unity of subject and object, so the relationship between philosophy and poetry also develops from opposition or mechanical integration to organic integration. Although there are still some dangers in this attempt, its significance to poetry and philosophy needs to be affirmed.
