Om denne bog
Philosophical Allusions in James Joyce''s Finnegans Wake is the first study to offer complete and comprehensive explanations of the most significant philosophical references in James Joyce''s avant-garde masterpiece. Philosophy is important in all of Joyce''s works, but it is his final novel which most fully engages with that field. Robert Baines shows the broad range of philosophers Joyce wove into his last work, from Aristotle to Confucius, Bergson to Kant. For each major philosophical allusion in Finnegans Wake, this book explains the original idea and reveals how Joyce first encountered it. Drawing upon extensive research into Joyce''s notebooks and drafts, Baines then shows how Joyce developed and adapted that idea through repeated revisions. From here, the final form of the idea as it appears in the Wake is explored. In carefully examining the Wake''s key philosophical allusions, essential themes within the novel come into focus, including history, time, language, being, and perception. We see also how those allusions combine to create a network of ideas, thinkers, and texts which has a logic and an integrity. Ultimately, Philosophical Allusions in James Joyce''s Finnegans Wake shows that the more one knows of the Wake''s philosophical allusions, the more one can find meaning and reason in this famously perplexing book of the night.
