Description
A provocative book that proposes a new and surprising inspiration for philosophy todaythe canine thinker from Kafkas story Investigations of a Dog. Written toward the end of Kafkas life, Investigations of a Dog (Forschungen eines Hundes, 1922) is one of the lesser-known and most enigmatic works in the authors oeuvre. Kafkas tale of philosophical adventure is that of a lone, maladjusted dog who challenges the dogmatism of established science and pioneers an original research program in pursuit of the mysteries of his self and his world. In How to Research Like a Dog, Aaron Schuster uses the canine as a guide dog to rediscover Kafkas fictional universe, while taking up the cause of this ingenious, possessed, melancholy, comical, and revolutionary thinker.Neither an exercise in literary criticism nor a traditional philosophical commentary, this charming and idiosyncratic book aligns itself with the research program of Kafkas dog. It constructs an impossible system based on the fourfold division of nourishment, music, incantation, and freedomor, stated a bit differently: enjoyment, art, institutions, and freedom. From Plato to Flaubert, Lispector, and Lacan, Schuster puts the dog in dialogue with psychoanalytic theory, the history of philosophy, and modern literature. Imagining the Unknown University that Kafkas new science calls for, the book enlists new comrades in the dogs struggle.
