Publisher’s Overview:
In this book, Justin N. Bonanno builds off of the recent philosophical work
on Walker Percy’s writings. While it is valuable to appreciate Percy as a
novelist, Bonanno approaches Percy from the perspective of Continental
philosophy and the rhetorical tradition. Unpacking the works of several key
authors that influenced Percy (e.g. Sartre and Heidegger), Bonanno offers a
fresh philosophical account of Percy's ideas concerning the relationship
between symbols and existence. In particular, he focuses on how Percy’s
ideas emerge from the thought of Ernst Cassirer, Susanne Langer, Jacques
Maritain, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gabriel Marcel, Martin Heidegger, Viktor
Shklovsky, Søren Kierkegaard, and St. Thomas Aquinas.
