Summary

"This book has two main objectives: first, to outline and illustrate a new semiotic technique for analysing complex non-fictional texts, such as philosophy. Second, to use this technique in presenting and discussing three major full-length works by influential philosophers Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Soren Kierkegaard and John Austin. Bridging the gap between literary analysis and philosophical investigation, the book examines the ways in which these philosophers' conceptualizations of reality, self and action are formed through narrative strategy."--Jacket.
