| Summary: | "Arguing that James's novels and stories are exemplary of "philosophical fiction," Jones suggests that James's style - and particularly his use of free indirect discourse - models a way of thinking about the activity of leading a life that is remarkable in its phenomenological subtlety and sophistication. Jones ultimately claims that paying close attention to James's innovative techniques for representing lived experience allows us to place him in a mutually-enriching dialogue with the cutting-edge practical philosophies of Martin Hägglund, Rahel Jaeggi, and J.M. Bernstein"-- Provided by publisher. |
