< >This monograph investigates the relationship between literature and science against the background of the functional differentiation of modern society. Using examples from different linguistic areas ‑ French (Diderot, Rousseau, Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, Proust, Houellebecq), German (Goethe, Freud, Musil), Italian (Vico, Manzoni, Pirandello, Svevo, Calvino, Del Giudice) and Spanish (Pío Baroja, Borges, Cortázar, Volpi) ‑ the book shows that despite the widening gap between literature and science, interferences occur which are poetologically and epistemologically revealing.< r />
