Fictions of Knowledge

Fact, Evidence, Doubt

Herausgegeben: Batsaki, Yota; Mukherji, S.; Schramm, J.

Beschreibung

Locating literature at the intersection of distinct areas of thinking on the nature, scope and methods of knowledge - philosophy, theology, science, and the law - this book engages with literary texts across periods and genres to address questions of probability, problems of evidence, the uses of experiment and the poetics and ethics of doubt.

Rezensionen

"All the essays provide a complex but readable text, backed by massive scholarship, meticulously documented in the notes at their end. ... the essays in Fictions of Knowledge offer rich and complex investigations of the fascinating world of knowledge in its varied manifestations in literary and non-literary texts, and should be of interest to all who are interested in meaningful connections between the two." (Tej N. Dhar, The European Legacy, Vol. 20 (1), October, 2015)
