Philosophy As Fiction: Self, Deception, and Knowledge in Proust
Landy, Joshua (Assistant Professor in the Department of French and Italian, Assistant Professor in the Department of French and Italian, Stanford University)
Reconstructs Proust's outlook on knowledge, self-deception, and self-fashioning. This book explains why these ideas had to give rise to a work of art and not a philosophical treatise. It aims to help the reader to engage in an active manner with an alternative art of living.
