The past decades have seen a growing "philosophical" interest in a
number of authors, but strangely enough Saramago's oeuvre has been
left somewhat aside. This volume aims at filling this gap by
providing a diverse range of philosophical perspectives and
expositions on Saramago's work. The chapters explore some possible
issues arising from his works: from his use of Plato's allegory of
the cave to his re-readings of Biblical stories; from his critique
and "reinvention" of philosophy of history to his allegorical
exploration of alternative histories; from his humorous approach to
our being-towards-death to the revolutionary political charge of
his fiction. The essays here confront Saramago's fiction with
concepts, theories, and suggestions belonging to various
philosophical traditions and philosophers including Plato, Pascal,
Kierkegaard, Freud, Benjamin, Heidegger, Lacan, Foucault, Patocka,
Derrida, Agamben, and Zizek.
