Michael H. Mitias argues that the philosophical novel meets these conditions. He advances a detailed analysis of the concept of literary genre, and discusses the reasons which justify the claim that philosophical novel is a distinct literary genre. This is based on the assumption that philosophical ideas can be communicated metaphorically. An analysis of this assumption necessarily leads to a detailed discussion of the concept of metaphor and the extent to which it can be the vehicle of communicating philosophical truth. Michael H . Mitias is a retired Professor of Philosophy at Millsaps College, USA. He has published numerous articles and books in the area of aesthetics, philosophy of religions, political philosophy, and ethics, including Possibility of Interreligious Dialogue (Palgrave, 2020). 001445208 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 17, 2022). 001445208 650_0 $$aPhilosophical literature. 001445208 650_6 $$aPhilosophie$$xDocumentation. 001445208 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445208 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030973840$$z9783030973841$$w(OCoLC)1294135427 001445208 852__ $$bebk 001445208 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-97385-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445208 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445208$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445208 980__ $$aBIB 001445208 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445208 982__ $$aEbook 001445208 983__ $$aOnline 001445208 994__ $$a92$$bISE
