Product Overview

This book argues that literature can be definedpragmatist and historicist arguments notwithstandingand that in its definition its unique value can be discovered. The author identifies literature ontologically as a sign of the preconceptual, as the ostensive moment that discloses neither the purpose nor the structure of existence but existence itself, revealed in its nonhuman register.
