Beschreibung:
Locating literature at the intersection of distinct areas of thinking on the nature, scope and methods of knowledge - philosophy, theology, science, and the law - this book engages with literary texts across periods and genres to address questions of probability, problems of evidence, the uses of experiment and the poetics and ethics of doubt.
A pioneering collection of essays by leading scholars on the relationship between imaginative literature and epistemology from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century
