More about the book
The inquiry explores the notion that all writing inherently reflects the author's self, framing the question of how self-discourse is achievable. Rooted in the philosophies of Wittgenstein, Sartre, Foucault, and Nietzsche, it argues that writing serves as a means of self-construction. Contrary to Poststructuralist and Postmodernist views that downplay the self, the work asserts that the authorial identity emerges through writing, with interconnections among author, text, and world evident in stylistic choices.
