Abans de dedicar-se per complet a la literatura, T.S. Eliot fou un estudiant seriós de filosofia. Aquest estudi pretén determinar la importància d'aquest fet en el seu desenvolupament com a crític literari. La intenció és argumentar que el canvi que Eliot va fer de la filosofia a la literatura, va ser instigat amb l'esperança de trobar en el camp literari un estil que havia vençut durant els seus estudis filosòfics.
