The relationship of philosophy with Kafka's oeuvre is complex. It
has been argued that Kafka's novels and stories defy philosophic
extrapolation; conversely, it has also been suggested that
precisely the tendency of Kafka's writings to elude discursive
solution is itself a philosophical tendency, one that is somehow
contributing to a wiser relationship of human beings with language.
These matters are the focus of the proposed volume on Philosophy
and Kafka. The proposed collection brings together essays that
interrogate the relationship of philosophy and Kafka, and offer new
and original interpretations. The volume obviously cannot claim
completeness, but it partially does justice to the multiplicity of
philosophical issues and philosophical interpretations at stake.
This variety informs the composition of the volume itself. A number
of essays focus on specific philosophical commentaries on Kafka's
work, from Adorno's to Agamben's, from Arendt's to Benjamin's, from
Deleuze and Guattari's to Derrida's. A number of essays consider
the possible relevance of certain philosophical outlooks for
examining Kafka's writings: here Kafka's name goes alongside those
of Socrates, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Buber,
Heidegger, Blanchot, and Levinas. Finally, a number of essays
consider Kafka's writings in terms of a specific philosophical
theme, such as communication and subjectivity, language and
meaning, knowledge and truth, the human/animal divide, justice, and
freedom. In all contributions to the volume, such themes, motifs,
and interpretations arise. To varying degrees, all essays are
concerned with the relationship of literature and philosophy, and
thus with the philosophical significance of Kafka's writings.
