Introduction: The Dawning of Philosophical Aspects in Literature

  • Garry L. Hagberg

摘要

This opening chapter is an introduction to the volume that sets out the ground to be covered. Rather than pursuing an analysis of the kind that would yield a unitary or essentialist definition of literary interpretation, the plan is to consider a wide range of cases that show how interpretation proceeds in the closest back-and-forth interaction between philosophy and literary texts. Each chapter is discussed here briefly in a way that will allow a reader to have a conceptual map of the overall project and how it fits together before turning to the individual chapters.
