What is the philosophical voice within literature? Does literature
have a voice of its own? Can this voice really be philosophical in
its own right? In this book, Michael Boylan argues that some
literary works indeed can make their own unique claims in different
areas of philosophy. He calls this method fictive narrative
philosophy. The first part of the book presents an overview of
traditional thinking about philosophy and literature across
classical, modern, and contemporary periods. It does not seek to
denigrate these methods of studying literature, but rather to ask
more of them. The second part then sets out a rigorous definition
of what constitutes fictive narrative philosophy. This definition
outlines detailed conceptions of the methods of presentation,
audience engagement, logical mechanics, and constructional devices
of fictive narrative philosophy. The author brings this definition
to bear on individual authors and works that can be considered
prime examples of fictive narrative philosophy. Finally, the book
sets out why and when fictive narratives might be more favorable
than traditional philosophical discourse, and how the concept of
fictive narrative philosophy can move teaching and scholarship
forward in a positive direction. Fictive Narrative Philosophy
presents an entirely new and unique approach in which literature
can be a form of philosophy. It will appeal to scholars and
upper-level students interested in philosophy and literature.
