Alberto Castelli

Literature and Philosophy (eBook, ePUB)

Telling Tales of Nonsense

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the relationship between literature and philosophy. It investigates seemingly incomprehensible behaviors from the perspective of philosophy and expounds on love by using, among others, Darwinism, Marxism, Existentialism, Plato, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Barthes as tools of investigation. The author deconstructs some 20 literary texts and presents a work of literary criticism in which literary theories are blended with philosophical theories on the self.

A significant contribution, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of comparative literature, philosophy, philosophy of literature, modern fiction, modernism, and postmodernism.
