Central to Karen Zumhagen-YekpleI̹'s book are her critical readings of key modernist texts by Franz Kafka, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce. Throughout, Zumhagen-YekpleÌ brings to bear an interpretive framework that she derives from Wittgenstein's gnomic "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" (first published in English in 1922, the "annus mirabilis" of modernism), which she treats not as a theory of logic or metaphysics but as a complex mock-theoretical puzzle. The book's final chapter turns to recent fiction by J. M. Coetzee, a living author conscious of his debts both to Wittgenstein and his modernist literary precursors. This book will interest students of literary modernism, Wittgenstein, and the interconnections between fiction and ordinary language philosophy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wittgenstein, Ludwig, $d 1889-1951. $t Tractatus logico-philosophicus. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $y 20th century $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Ethics in literature. 630 07 $a Tractatus logico-philosophicus (Wittgenstein, Ludwig) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356212 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226677293 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205012510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49E9F4108E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
