Opis

Taking a philosophical epistemological perspective, this work examines Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain" (Der Zauberberg), Hermann Broch's trilogy, "The Sleepwalkers" (Die Schlafwandler), and Robert Musil's "The Man Without Qualities" (Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften). These three texts not only constitute epoch-making novels, but are also novels of their epoch, in the sense that they deal with the significant historical currents of thought of their time in a literary manner. One of the most succinct characteristics of their epoch was a diversity of epistemological positions, never to be attained again afterwards. Using an interpretive approach, this study sheds light on how the three authors dealt with this spectrum in their aesthetic works.

Recenzje

"Die Studie belegt eindrucksvoll, dass eine Verschärfung des Interpretationsinstrumentariums zu tiefen analytischen Einsichten gelangen kann [...]."
Horst Thomé in: Germanistik Redaktion 2011, Band 52, Heft 1-2

"Dittrich has produced a fascinating, exquisitely researched hybrid work of literary scholarship and historical epistemology that should appeal to any scholar working at the intersections of literature and philosophy."
Jennifer Jenkins in: Monatshefte 103/4 2011
