9781907040061: Literary Semantics

Synopsis

Literary Semantics develops an original, simple but philosophically potent idea into a theory for the human sciences covering philosophy, logic, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, ontology, morality, religion, neurology, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, history and education. A structured Glossary provides a roadmap to navigate these complexities. This revolutionary idea the trichotomy of knowledge, a threefold division comprising everything that could ever be considered knowledge seamlessly integrates aesthetics and ethics within an all-embracing epistemology, thus placing the arts on an equal footing with science. From the trichotomy are derived theories of truth, affidence, science, value, semics, semantics of literature, modality, style and fictionality. This heretical and starkly provocative book ventures far beyond literature in exploring the cognitive problems which have beset literary studies since Aristotle. The author believes that many English departments, in terms of academic progress, are simply wasting their time.
