Full Description
This book examines the relationship between literature and philosophy. It investigates seemingly incomprehensible behaviours from the perspective of philosophy and expounds on love by using Darwinism, Marxism, Existentialism, Plato, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Barthes as tools of investigation. The author deconstructs 20 literary texts and presents a work of literary criticism in which literary theories are blended with philosophical theories on the self.
An important contribution, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of literature, philosophy, comparative literature, world literature, modern fiction, romanticism, modernism, and postmodernism.
