Short description:
This forward-thinking reference volume draws on new developments in philosophy including speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, the new materialisms, posthumanism, analytic philosophy of language and metaphysics, and ecophilosophy alongside close readings of a range of texts from the literary canon.
Long description:
This forward-thinking, non-traditional reference work uniquely maps out how new developments in 21st century philosophy are entering into dialogue with the study of literature. Going beyond the familiar methods of analytic philosophy, and with a breadth greater than traditional literary theory, this collection looks at the profound consequences of the interaction between philosophy and literature for questions of ethics, politics, subjectivity, materiality, reality and the nature of the contemporary itself.
The relationship between philosophy and literature has always been tempestuous ? ranging from ?ancient quarrel? to love-in ? and much has happened recently. The outstanding international contributors to this ground-breaking volume provide a superb and original introduction to ?where we are now? for philosophers, literary theorists, critics and scholars of contemporary fiction.
