Henry James and the Philosophical Novel examines James's unique
position as a philosophical novelist, closely associated with the
climate of ideas generated by his brother, William and his father,
the elder Henry. The book offers a detailed consideration of
story-telling as a mode of philosophical enquiry, showing how a
range of distinguished thinkers have relied on fictional narrative
as a vital technique for formulating and clarifying their ideas. At
the same time, it investigates (with close reference to his novels)
the affiliations between James's practice as a novelist and the
epistemological, moral and linguistic concerns pursued by members
of the Phenomenological movement. The study brings to light
striking similarities between James's later works and the
philosophical project of Merleau-Ponty; it emphasises James's
growing attraction to and versatility with deconstructive
strategies such as those later employed by Jacques Derrida.
