{"product_id":"fiction-and-the-weave-of-life","title":"Fiction and the Weave of Life","description":"Literature is a source of understanding and insight into the human condition. Yet ever since Aristotle, philosophers have struggled to provide a plausible account of how this can be the case. For surely the fictionality - the sheer invented character - of the literary work means that literature concerns itself not with the real world but with other worlds - what are commonly called fictional worlds. How is it, then, that fictions can tell us something of consequence about reality? In Fiction and the Weave of Life, John Gibson offers a novel and intriguing account of the relationship between literature and life, and shows that literature's great cultural and cognitive value is inseparable from its fictionality and inventiveness.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54228209107288,"sku":"9780199642571","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780199642571__67ac9938e4db1.jpg?v=1741135119","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fiction-and-the-weave-of-life","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
