There has been a steady stream of articles written on the relations between political thought and the interpretation of literature, but there remains a need for a book that both introduces and significantly contributes to the field – particularly one that shows in detail how we can think more freely and creatively about political possibilities by reading and reflecting on politically significant literature. This volume offers analytically acute and culturally rich ways of understanding how it is that we can productively think philosophically about political literature and what kind of distinctive conceptual progress we can make by doing so. Given the extremely widespread interest in political issues, this volume will strike resonant chords far and wide, while offering something that has not been done quite in this way and for which the time certainly seems right. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College, USA and Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature. Author of four books and editor of nine volumes, he is presently completing a new book, Consciousness Portrayed: Seven Case Studies in Philosophical Literature.

This stimulating volume brings together an international team of emerging, mid-career, and senior scholars to investigate the relations between philosophical approaches to language and the language of literature. It has proven easy for philosophers of language to leave literary language to one side, just as it has proven easy for literary scholars to discuss questions of meaning separately from relevant issues in the philosophy of language. This volume brings the two together in mutually enlightening ways: considerations of literary meaning are deepened by adding philosophical approaches, just as philosophical issues are enriched by bringing them into contact or interweaving them with literary cases in all their subtlety. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College. His most recent book is Living in Words: Literature, Autobiographical Language, and the Composition of Selfhood.

There has been a steady stream of articles written on the relations between ethics and the interpretation of literature, but there remains a need for a book that both introduces and significantly contributes to the field – particularly one that shows how we can think more openly and creatively about the multiform powers of ethical narrative by considering ethically significant literature. This volume offers an analytically acute and culturally rich way of understanding how it is that we can productively think philosophically about the narrative structures that describe our ethical lives and what kind of distinctive conceptual, and in some cases personal, progress we can make by doing so. Given the extremely widespread interest in ethical issues, this volume will strike resonant chords far and wide on arrival, while offering something new in bringing together the study of long-form narrative, the language of moral psychology, and detailed literary case studies. Given the vast expansion of narrative studies in recent years, the time for just such a volume is right. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College and Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature. He is presently completing three new books: Consciousness Portrayed: Seven Case Studies in Philosophical Literature; The Mind on Screen: Seven Case Studies in Philosophical Film; and Art and Meaning: On Artworks and their Implications.

Les textes rassemblés dans ce livre montrent comment la maison construite par le philosophe autrichien Ludwig Wittgenstein peut être vue comme un cas exemplaire à la fois pour l'histoire de l'architecture et pour l'histoire de la philosophie - rares sont les cas où il est possible d'évaluer les correspondances, dans l'œuvre d'un même individu, entre le travail de la pensée et le travail de l'architecture. Qu'a pu représenter l'architecture pour Wittgenstein, qu'a-t-il pensé de ce type d'exercice et qui nous a été transmis à travers ses écrits ? Le modèle de l'architecture nous éclaire sur le sens et la portée des idées fondamentales de sa philosophie du langage, sur son intimité avec les pratiques de l'art, de l'ingénierie, de l'artisanat, sur l'interprétation ou la résistance du philosophe à la culture de son temps, sur sa manière d'aborder les problèmes des limites et des définitions. Wittgenstein disait qu'il est revenu à la philosophie en 1928 lorsqu'il s'était de nouveau senti capable de créer : le chantier qu'il a mené y est-il pour quelque chose ? Cette période de transition présente un intérêt particulier pour les études wittgensteiniennes pour ce qui est d'établir une rupture ou une forme de continuité entre ce qu'il est d'usage de distinguer comme le premier et le second Wittgenstein. Le chantier architectural qu'il maîtrise tant dans l'ensemble que dans ses moindres détails permet de constater l'émergence d'une question qui l'occupera de manière constante; la nécessité d'en arriver, face à un problème esthétique ou conceptuel, à une prise en considération de l'ensemble des usages, à une vision synoptique qui seule permet une représentation synthétique privilégiant une saisie inclusive plutôt qu'exclusive.
