Klappentext

Mathematics and Literary Studies engaged in a dialogue? Indeed, this is what this book is all about. It features that both disciplines converse because they can; and they can do so, because they perform both differently and similarly while digging into the gist of all matter. Mathematics operates with metaphors born from real life, because (rather than in spite of) its dedication to reality. Likewise, literature is all but a mere invention. Born from the gist of all matter, it has always been part and parcel thereof. Such fictional in(ter)ventions have become a role model for the study thereof: literary studies. And it is because both mathematics and literary studies speak from the midst of (planetary) worldliness, they happen to overlap. In doing so, the book is an invitation to understand imagination as knowledge; and knowledge as imagination.
