Beschreibung
Text in English 573 pp. Bookplate on the inside cover. Unique in both nature and scope, the present volume proposes the Life-significance of literature, thus attempting to revive the experience of literature at its fullest. In contrast to the structuralistic, hermeneutic and linguistic approaches which distort, dwarf and silence the writer/reader relationship, the guidelines of the phenomenology of man and of the human condition underlying the present selection of studies resound with the depth of the poetic enjoyment of life, revealing the full relevance of philosophy in the understanding of literature. As a natural extension to The Philosophical Reflection of Man in Literature (Analecta Husserliana, Volume XII), the literary genres reveal through their epic, tragic and poetic significance 'ciphers' of Man's self-interpretation-in the main existence through literature. Through her conception of the 'poetic enjoyment', A-T. Tymieniecka introduces studies by Eugene Kaelin, Martinez-Bonati Ramras-Rauch, Beverly Gila Kronegger, Marlies Schlack, Valdo Viglielmo, Christoph Eykman, Lois Oppenheim and others. These studies probe into the metaphysics of life, human historicity, the existential significance of the tragic feeling, etc., and encompass Greek, Japanese, Hebrew, Islamic, mediaeval and Modern Occidental literature: Hesiod, Empedocles the Bible, Dante, Shakespeare, Racine, Corneille, Hölderlin, Virginia Woolf, etc, The book contains a selection of research studies presented at three conventions of the International Society for Phenomenology and Literature, an affiliate of The World Phenomenology Institute.
