Philosophy as Fiction seeks to account for the peculiar power of philosophical literature by taking as its case study the paradigmatic generic hybrid of the twentieth century Marcel Prousts In Search of Lost Time At once philosophicalin that it presents claims and even deploys arguments concerning such traditionally philosophical issues as knowledge selfdeception selfhood love friendship and artand literary in that its situations are imaginary and its stylization inescapably prominent Prousts novel presents us with a conundrum How should it be read Can the two discursive structures coexist or must philosophy inevitably undermine literature by sapping the narrative of its vitality and literature undermine philosophy by placing its claims in the mouth of an often unreliable narrator In the case of Proust at least the result is greater than the sum of its parts Not only can a coherent distinctive philosophical system be extracted from the Recherche once the narrators periodic waywardness is taken into account not only does a powerfully original style pervade its every nook overtly reinforcing some theories and covertly exemplifying others but aspects of the philosophy also serve literary ends contributing more to character than to conceptual framework What is more aspects of the aesthetics serve philosophical ends enabling a reader to engage in an active manner with an alternative art of living Unlike the essay Proust might have written his novel grants us the opportunity to use it as a practice ground for cooperation among our faculties for the careful sifting of memories for the complex procedures involved in selffashioning and for the related art of selfdeception It is only because the narrators insights do not always add upa weakness so long as one treats the novel as a straightforward treatisethat it can produce its training effect a feature that turns out to be its ultimate strength
