Reconstructs Proust's outlook on knowledge, self-deception, and self-fashioning. This book explains why these ideas had to give rise to a work of art and not a philosophical treatise. It aims to help the reader to engage in an active manner with an alternative art of living.

Philosophy as Fiction reconstructs Proust''s powerful, coherent and original outlook on knowledge, self-deception and self-fashioning. In addition, it explains why these ideas had to give rise to a work of art and not a philosophical treatise. Parts of the philosophy serve literary ends, with certain assertions forming part of the novel''s intricate lace-work; and aspects of the aesthetics also serve philosophical ends, enabling a reader to engage in an active manner with an alternative art of living.
