Résumé: Literature and criticism make us pressingly aware of how language operates through an elusive dialectic of presence and absence, making a world available to us and simultaneously separating us from it. One way to approach the idea of the person--an idea that literature and criticism have done much to shape and confirm--is by interpreting it within such a dialectic, as an evolving and evaluative term. A series of chapters brings to bear on these issues the vocabularies of hermeneutics and phenomenology, scientific verification, philosophy of imagination, Judaeo-Christian religion, and Marxism. A conclusion attempts a synthesis describing some vital relations between literature and culture, focussed on the category of the person
