The problem of self-knowledge is of universal interest; the nature or character of its achievement has been one continuing thread in our philosophical tradition for millennia. Likewise the nature of storytelling, the assembly of individual parts of a potential story into a coherent narrative structure, has been central to the study of literature. But how do we gain knowledge from an artform that is by definition fictional, by definition not a matter of ascertained fact, as this applies to the understanding of our lives? When we see ourselves in the mimetic mirror of literature, what we see may not just be a matter of identifying with a single protagonist, but also a matter of recognizing long-form structures, long-arc narrative shapes that give a place to ? and thus make sense of ? the individual bits of experience that we place into those structures. But of course at precisely this juncture a question arises: do we make that sense, or do we discover it? The twelve chapters brought together here lucidly and steadily reveal how the matters at hand are far more intricate and interesting than any such dichotomy could accommodate. This is a book that investigates the ways in which life and literature speak to each other. . 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aLiterature?Philosophy 606 $aSelf 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aAesthetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E11000 606 $aLiterary Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000 606 $aSelf and Identity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20150 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aLiterature?Philosophy. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology). 615 14$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aAesthetics. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aSelf and Identity. 676 $a158.1 702 $aHagberg$b Garry L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910357846403321 996 $aNarrative and Self-Understanding$92099747 997 $aUNINA
