Radical relativism, epistemological certainty, and ethical absolutes: Conrad's Impressionist response to solopsism and anarchy -- Epilogue. 330 $aIn this 2001 book, John Peters investigates the impact of Impressionism on Conrad and links this to his literary techniques as well as his philosophical and political views. Impressionism, Peters argues, enabled Conrad to encompass both surface and depth not only in visually perceived phenomena but also in his narratives and objects of consciousness, be they physical objects, human subjects, events or ideas. Though traditionally thought of as a sceptical writer, Peters claims that through Impressionism Conrad developed a coherent and mostly traditional view of ethical and political principles, a claim he supports through reference to a broad range of Conrad's texts. Conrad and Impressionism investigates the sources and implications of Conrad's impressionism in order to argue for a consistent link between his literary technique, philosophical presuppositions and socio-political views. The same core ideas concerning the nature of human experience run throughout his works. 606 $aImpressionism in literature 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 0$aImpressionism in literature. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 676 $a823/.912 700 $aPeters$b John G$g(John Gerard)$0997140 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828432203321 996 $aConrad and impressionism$94117680 997 $aUNINA
