Opis

This book argues that literature can be defined--pragmatist and historicist arguments notwithstanding--and 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.
