This book examines the conceptual, existential, and logical
conditions under which the philosophical novel can be treated as a
literary genre on a par with generally recognized literary genres,
such as mystery, romantic, adventure, religious, or historical
novel. Michael H. Mitias argues that the philosophical novel meets
these conditions. He advances a detailed analysis of the concept of
literary genre, and discusses the reasons which justify the claim
that philosophical novel is a distinct literary genre. This is
based on the assumption that philosophical ideas can be
communicated metaphorically. An analysis of this assumption
necessarily leads to a detailed discussion of the concept of
metaphor and the extent to which it can be the vehicle of
communicating philosophical truth.
