About this book

Robert Musil (1880-1942) and Paul Valéry (1871-1945) dealt with the topic of thinking both on a theoretical level and then in their literary works produced detailed accounts of thought processes. This study first analyses and compares their conceptions of thought and locates these in contemporary psychological and philosophical theories of thought. It then carries on to examine Musil’s and Valéry’s literary presentations of thinking and demonstrates the relations between their theoretical concepts and their creative writing processes.

Reviews

"Krämer hat eine enorme und disparate Textmenge zielstrebig aufgearbeitet. [...] Die Arbeit erhellt nicht nur literarische Eigenheiten der Autoren, sie belegt auch, in welch hohem Maße die Literatur auf die Entwicklungen der Naturwissenschaften reagierte."
Holger Helbig in: Germanistik 3-4/2009

"In this dense, ambitious, and well-researched study, Olav Krämer sets forth to explore how Robert Musil and Paul Valéry conceived of, and represented in literary form, thinking in their work."
Florence Vatan in: Monatshefte University of Wisconsin 4/2011
