{"product_id":"when-fiction-and-philosophy-meet-e-jane-doering-9780881466966","title":"When Fiction \u0026 Philosophy Meet","description":"An innovative book, WHEN FICTION AND PHILOSOPHY MEET explores the intersection between the philosophy of Simone Weil from Paris, France, and the fiction of Flannery OConnor from the Southern state of Georgia, USA. In an era of war, of unprecedented human displacements, and of ethnic, racial, and religious fears the ideas of these two intellectuals bear on our present condition. Both women keenly desired to perceive the realities of good and evil inherent in human existence and to bring this truth to the consciousness of their contemporaries. Embracing their belief that truth is eternal but must be transposed and translated, generation after generation, in language appropriate to each age, the authors acquaint OConnor readers with concepts in Weils religious philosophy as seen in OConnors stories. Doering and Johansen simultaneously illustrate how Weils philosophy, when embodied in fiction, reveals the lived realities of the human condition across time and space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e E.
