This book bridges medieval and contemporary philosophical thinkers,
examining the relationship between fiction and philosophy for
bringing about social change. Drawing on the philosophical reading
and writing practices of medieval author Christine de Pizan and
twentieth-century philosopher Luce Irigaray, and through an
engagement with Hans-Georg Gadamer's work on tradition and
hermeneutics, it develops means to re-write the stories and ideas
that shape society. It argues that reading for change is possible;
by increasing our capacity to perceive and engage tradition, we
become more capable of positively shaping the forces that shape us.
Following the example of the two women whose work it explores,
Story and Philosophy works through philosophy and narrative to
deeply transform the allegorical, political, and continental
tradition it engages. It is essential reading for students and
scholars interested in medieval studies, feminist studies, and
critical theory.
