To Beverly Jarrett
I would like to thank all of the contributors to this collection for their early and enthusiastic support of the project itself, for their willingness to write and submit their work to my editorial hand, and for their patience with the long process of presenting their collective work to the public. Additionally I am grateful to Polly Detels for reading multiple drafts of the introduction and for her advice and support in this entire project. I wish also to thank Thomas Hollweck for his reading and responding to the final draft of the introduction. Finally, I enjoyed once again working with Julianna Schroeder and acknowledge her attentive and perspicacious copy-editing of the manuscript. It remains to be said that whatever mistakes remain are borne by me.
CHARLES R. EMBRY
The story is the symbolic form the questioner has to adopt necessarily when he gives an account of his quest as the event of wresting, by the response of his human search to a divine movement, the truth of a reality pregnant with truth yet unrevealed. Moreover, the story remains the constant symbolism of the quest.
Eric Voegelin,In Search of Order
If we look to the historically first and fully developed philosophical corpus, the work of Plato, we note that instead of writing didactic treatises on various philosophical topoi, he composed dialogues as dramatic reenactments of conversations in various social situationsa remembered conversation after attendance at a festival or remembered speeches at a banquet, for example. These dialogues contain philosophical conversations among various social types of the Greek polis and are focused by the asking of a question, such as What is justice? early on in the conversation. Socrates then proceeds to persuade his interlocutors through the rational clarification of opinions expressed in answer to the initial question and, later, through leading questions posed by him. Inevitably the conversation reaches an impasse, for while the logical direction and conclusion of the argument have been agreed to by various interlocutors, their persuasion to the truth of existence as exemplified by the Socratic, It is better to suffer injustice than to do injustice, is not forthcomingeven for interlocutors who are open to persuasion such as Glaucon and Adeimantus in The Republic or Simmias and Cebes in Phaedo. Since rational, logical argument does not persuade them, Plato permits Socrates to introduce a myth (the
Even though the authors of the essays collected here have not assembled as a group and discussed correspondences between literature and philosophy, it is safe to say that we are bound together by several shared commitments and assumptions, first and above all by a love of literaturepoetry, novels, and drama. Second, we would all agree that the best literaturecertainly in the modern erahas philosophical and moral dimensions, and that the study of human existence would be lacking were it to ignore literature. Third, and perhaps most importantly, we share a belief that the life work of the twentieth-century political philosopher and philosopher of consciousness Eric Voegelin (19011985) proffers insights that illumine our searches for the truth of human existence when we turn those insights to the study of literature.
Voegelin's philosophy of reality lends itself to application in readings of literature for several reasons. Finally, Voegelin appropriated symbols from novels that helped articulate his own insights into social and political reality. For example, he adopted the symbol second reality from Musil and Doderer to describe a pneumopathological source of modern political and social disorder.
