- Summary:
- 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.
