Literature and Knowledge (Peckham)

Adventures Among Ideas by David Dennen

Episode notes

Does literature give us knowledge? If so, what kind of knowledge? And knowledge about what? In this episode I explore literature as propositional knowledge, behavioral knowledge, and reorientational knowledge. Based on Morse Peckham's essay "Literature and Knowledge" (1972).
