A team of leading contributors from both philosophical and
literary backgrounds have been brought together in this impressive
book to examine how works of literary fiction can be a source of
knowledge. Together, they analyze the important trends in this
current popular debate.
The innovative feature of this volume is that it mixes work by
literary theorists and scholars with work of analytic philosophers
that combined together provide a comprehensive statement of the
variety of ways in which works of fiction can engage questions of
worldly interest. It uses the problem of cognitive value to
explore:
- literature s contribution to ethical life
- literature s ability to engage in social and political
critique
- the role narrative plays in opening up possibilities of moral,
aesthetic, experience and selfhood
This remarkable volume will attract the attention of both
literature and philosophy scholars with its statement of the
various ways that literature and life take an interest in one
another.
