Epistemology and Narrative: The Role of Knowledge in Literature

This examination centers on epistemological themes within literature, analyzing how narratives construct and convey knowledge. Focus is placed on the interplay between character perception and overarching themes of truth and belief.

Epistemology, as a branch of philosophy, significantly influences literary criticism. Understanding how knowledge is presented in literature is vital for evaluating critical responses and developing coherent interpretations of texts.

Students will be evaluated on their ability to articulate how different literary techniques are employed to explore concepts of knowledge, reality, and perception, drawing connections with relevant philosophical discourse.

Consideration will be given to various genres and historical contexts, enabling students to articulate the evolution of epistemological themes across time.
