Abstract:

“Philosophy of literature” is a thriving subfield of Anglo-American philosophy but virtually unknown within literary studies. This essay aims to address a significant methodological inadequacy that is characteristic of much work in “philosophy of literature”: the remarkable absence of sustained and close textual interpretation as a technique for argument and substantiation. Underlying this approach are assumptions about the separability of meaning from linguistic form that lie at the foundation of modern philosophical approaches to logic and language, instantiated here by Gottlob Frege’s 1918 essay “The Thought.” The implications of Fregean ideas are legible in the interpretive failings of “philosophy of literature.”

摘要：

“文学哲学”是英美哲学的一个蓬勃发展的子领域，但在文学研究中却鲜为人知。本文旨在解决“文学哲学”中许多著作所特有的方法论上的重大缺陷：明显缺乏持续而严密的文本解释作为论证和证实的技术。这种方法的基础是关于意义与语言形式可分离性的假设，这些假设是现代逻辑和语言哲学方法的基础，戈特洛布·弗雷格 (Gottlob Frege) 1918 年的论文“思想”对此进行了实例化。弗雷格思想的含义在“文学哲学”的解释失败中显而易见。
