What, if anything, distinguishes works of fiction such as Hamlet
and Madame Bovary from biographies, news reports, or office
bulletins? Is there a "right" way to interpret fiction? Should we
link interpretation to the author's intention? Ought our moral
unease with works that betray sadistic, sexist, or racist elements
lower our judgments of their aesthetic worth? And what, when it
comes down to it, is literature?The readings in this collection
bring together some of the most important recent work in the
philosophy of literature by philosophers such as Martha Nussbaum,
John Searle, and David Lewis. The readings explore philosophical
issues such as the nature of fiction, the status of the author, the
act of interpretation, the role of the emotions in the act of
reading, the aesthetic and moral value of literary works, and other
topics central to the philosophy of literature.
