Sinossi editore
"Between Literature and Science is a sterling example of the bridge-building that the best imaginative fiction, if Swirski is right, also effects. Breaking free of the doldrums of postmodernist thought, Swirski writes with directness and vigor, and gives new hope for the future of literary studies." Jerrold Levinson, University of Maryland "Between Literature and Science engaged me with its studiousness, coherence, and inventiveness." Jed Rasula, Department of English, Queen's University [TWO QUOTES BY LIVINGSTON] "In this ground-breaking and unusual book that successfully avoids both scientism and science bashing, Swirski elucidates some of the complex relations between literary knowledge and the scientific imagination. A paradigm of responsible interdisciplinary, his study brings the fictions of Lem and Poe into a productive dialogue with research in cognitive science, game theory, and epistemology. This courageous book should be read by anyone interested in literary theory, Lem, Poe, or the philosophy of literature." Paisley Livingston, Department of Philosophy, University of Aarhus, Denmark "A bold challenge to disciplinary narrowness ... Between Literature and Science makes a significant contribution to a number of different scholarly subfields, including Poe scholarship, Lemm scholarship, literary theory, philosophy and literature, epistemology, and aesthetics ... It stands out from the rank and file of academic books by virtue of the breadth and depth of the reading and thinking it exemplifies and conveys ... Rarely have I been so enthusiastic about a book." Paisley Livingston, Department of Philosophy, University of Aarhus Per saperne di più…
