Arguing that time is open and contingency real, Morson develops a "prosaics of process" showing how some masterpieces have found an alternative to structure. His well-known pseudonym Alicia Chudo, the inventor of "misanthropology," explores the disturbing philosophical content of laughter, disgust, and even empathy. Northwestern University's most popular professor, Morson attributes declining student interest in literature to current teaching methods. He argues in favor of showing how literature fosters empathy with people unlike ourselves. Ever playful, Morson explores the relation of games to wit, which expresses the power of the mind to triumph over contingency in the social world. 410 0$aArs Rossika. 606 $aFiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aProse literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aEvents (Philosophy) in literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEmpathy in literature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aArts 610 $aLiterary Criticism 610 $aFyodor Dostoevsky 610 $aGod 610 $aLeo Tolstoy 610 $aMikhail Bakhtin 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aProse literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aEvents (Philosophy) in literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEmpathy in literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.3 700 $aMorson$b Gary Saul$0610132 701 $aGrave$b Ivan$0920999 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
