Love, Subjectivity, and Truth engages in a lively manner with the
overlapping areas of philosophy and literature, philosophy of
emotions, and existential thought. “Subjective truth,” a phrase
used in Proust's novel In Search of Lost Time, is rich with
existential connotations. It invokes Kierkegaard above all, but
significantly Nietzsche as well, and other philosophers who
thematize love, subjectivity, and truth. In Search of Lost Time is
especially concerned about what we can know about others through
love. Insofar as it conveys and analyzes experience, the novel is
capable not only of exploring existential issues but also of doing
something like phenomenology. What we know is shaped by our way of
knowing, just as the properties of visible, colored objects are
determined by the wavelengths of light our eyes can see. Nowhere
does the subjective basis of our awareness appear so evident as it
does when we view things through loving eyes. In Proust's novel we
find skeptical views about love expressed again and again. However,
we also note countercurrents, in which love is shown to provide a
unique sort of insight. At those times, love seems to be a
prerequisite of veridical apprehension. Love, Subjectivity, and
Truth investigates this tension as it is played out in Proust's
fiction.
