Von der hinteren Coverseite

What is the connection between philosophical investigation and storytelling in contemporary narrative? Is it possible to outline some features of a so-called philosophical fiction in Western literature throughout the last two centuries? This book aims both to provide multi-disciplinary insight on this long-standing issue and to give a plural answer, hosting extensive essays by seven young researchers coming from different fields. A self-reflexive piece by the contemporary Italian writer Francesco Pecoraro worthily concludes this plural, comparative study on how to make philosophy through narration.
