It has long been accepted that we learn from literature, but little research
has been carried out into how we learn ‘real’ things from ‘unreal’ literary
fictions. This in turn has limited our understanding of what we may learn
from the stories we tell. These questions are the principal explanatory chal-
lenge for any account of literature as an instrument of inquiry:
Framed by the theory of evolution, this colorful and engaging volume
offers a new understanding of the mechanisms by which we transfer infor-
mation from narrative make-believe to real life. Ranging across game
theory and philosophy of science, as well as poetics and aesthetics, Peter
Swirski explains how literary fictions perform as a systematic tool of
enquiry, driven by thought experiments. Crucially, he argues for a
continuum between the cognitive tools employed by scientists, philoso-
phers, and scholars or writers of fiction.
The result is a provocative study of our talent and propensity for
creating imaginary worlds, different from the world we know yet invaluable
to our understanding of it. Of Literature and Knowledge also frames a note-
worthy challenge to contemporary critical theory, arguing that by bridging
the gap between literature and science we might not only reinvigorate
literary studies but, above all, further our understanding of literature.
