Book synopsis

At the centre of this book is an analysis of literary experience as a case of aesthetic experience. In response to the questions raised by the rise of subjectivity, Costa Lima argues that though traces of subjectivity can be identified in the writings of Montaigne, only Kant provided the necessary philosophical legitimation of subjectivity. Schlegel's work is considered as both the beginning and culmination of philosophical aesthetics while Kafka's writing is seen as 'a fictional work which, without taking itself as Truth, refrains from affirming any Truth, and questions Truths as fictions'.
