Product Description

Review

"The Erotic Bird . . . artfully weaves phenomenology through interpretations of major literary works in an effort to explore, 'the particular manner in which phenomenology is "in" literature.' One of the most unique aspects of Natanson's book, which makes it most accessible to the reader, is his use of everyday examples to give a context for phenomenological concepts.

Product Description

How does literature illuminate the way we live? Natanson, a prominent champion of phenomenology, draws upon this method's power to show how fiction can highlight aspects of experience that are normally left unexamined. By exploring the structure of the everyday world, Natanson reveals the "uncanny" that lies at the core of the ordinary. Phenomenology - which involves the questioning of that which we usually take for granted - is for Natanson the essence of philosophy.
