ISBN: 9780190859251 出版年：2020 页码：297 Oxford University Press

This volume brings an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most famous novels in the German canon, but one which remains neglected in English-language scholarship: Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. Contributors explore broad philosophical questions as they are developed in Goethe's literary text, bringing new insight to both literary studies and philosophy. Their essays treat individuality, development, and authority; aesthetic formation and narrative (and human) contingency; gender, sexuality, and marriage; power, institutions, and control as philosophical problems addressed by Goethe's novel.
