{"product_id":"fiction-and-the-weave-of-life","title":"Fiction and the Weave of Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eLiterature is a source of understanding and insight into the human condition. Yet ever since Aristotle, philosophers have struggled to provide a plausible account of how this can be the case. For surely the fictionality - the sheer invented character - of the literary work means that literature concerns itself not with the real world but with other worlds - what are commonly called fictional worlds. How is it, then, that fictions can tell us something of\n\u003cbr\u003econsequence about reality? In Fiction and the Weave of Life, John Gibson offers a novel and intriguing account of the relationship between literature and life, and shows that literature's great cultural and\n\u003cbr\u003ecognitive value is inseparable from its fictionality and inventiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084357234926,"sku":"9780199299522","price":119.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199299522.jpg?v=1706219641","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/fiction-and-the-weave-of-life","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
