Literary theory is now perceived by many as being in crisis because
many of its dominant theoretical assumptions proving hard to
sustain. This volume offers a view of literary theory, seeing it
not as a product of the Franch assimilation of Saussurian
linguistics and Russian Formalism into what we term
"deconstruction", but rather as an essential part of modern
philosophy which begins with the German Romantic reactions to Kant,
the effects of which can be traced through to Heidegger, Benjamin
and Adorno. Andrew Bowie argues that, contrary to many current
assumptions, the central question in contemporary literary theory
is really the question of truth. He begins by showing how Kant's
and F.H Jacobi's reflection on grounding truth in modern philosophy
form the background to the exploration of the relationship between
literature and philosophy in early German Romanticism.
