More about the book
Crispin Sartwell critiques the academy's fixation on language and narrative, arguing it distorts our understanding of time, identity, and history. He contrasts thinkers like Kierkegaard and Bataille with narrativists such as MacIntyre and Ricoeur, suggesting that embracing chaos and incoherence can lead to a more authentic sense of self. Through an engaging exploration of diverse subjects, including literature, art, and personal experiences, Sartwell presents a unique perspective on human existence, celebrating the disintegration of rigid narratives.
