Literature matters because... Farrell defends a rich conception of the space of literature that retains its links to issues of self-formation and metaphysics and does not let that space collapse into just another reflection of social space. it allows for experiences important to the living out of a sophisticated and satisfying human life; because other arenas of culture cannot provide them to the same degree; and because a relatively small number of texts carry out these functions in so exceptional a manner that we owe it to past and future members of the species to keep such texts alive in our cultural traditions.--from Chapter One Frank B.
That misreading, Farrell says, has tended to endorse ways of understanding literature that make one question why it He maintains that recent literary theory has badly misread findings in the philosophy of language and the theory of subjectivity.
