Philosophical Meta-Reflections on Literary Studies: Why Do Things with Texts, and What to Do with Them?

Jibu Mathew George

An examination of key meta-questions in the humanities, with focus on literary studies.

Philosophical Meta-Reflections on Literary Studies takes up key meta-questions in the humanities, with focus on contemporary literary studies, philosophically examines the nature of knowledge therein as well as the implications of certain popular critical approaches, and addresses the effervescent question of ‘relevance’. In contrast to usual works on literary theory, or on philosophy of literature for that matter, this book presents an integrated meta-reasoning on the foundational questions of literary studies from an interdisciplinary perspective - in a manner of intertextual informality.
