- Summary:
- Uhlmann (English, U. of Western Sydney) examines how the Modernist novel might be understood as a machine for thinking, and how it might offer a means of coming to terms with what it means to think. He argues in, contra Alexander Baumgarten (1735), that the aesthetic is concerned with thought itself, not just with the sense that leads to thought. His first section explores literature and thinking in Spinoza, Leibniz, and others. The second focuses on the portrayal of thought in the novels of James Joyce (1882-1941), Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), and Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977).
