Visions of Value and Truth

Visions of Value and Truth presents eleven insightful contributions to contemporary scholarship on philosophy and literature. The topics range from philosophical analyses of Borge's, Dostoyevsky's, Sebald's, and Tournier's works via theoretical reflections on the moral value of literature to the question of philosophical and literary writing in authors such as Descartes, Foucault, and Beauvoir. The essays reflect a familiarity with earlier stages of the discussion concerning the relationship between philosophy and literature as well as a determination to develop this discussion further.
