Physics and Literature is a unique collaboration between
physicists, literary scholars, and philosophers, the first collection of
essays to examine together how science and literature, beneath their
practical differences, share core dimensions – forms of questioning,
thinking, discovering and communicating insights.This book advances an
in-depth exploration of relations between physics and literature from
both perspectives. It turns around the tendency to discuss relations
between literature and science in one-sided and polarizing ways. The
collection is the result of the inaugural conference of ELINAS, the
Erlangen Center for Literature and Natural Science, an initiative
dedicated to building bridges between literary and scientific research.
ELINAS revitalizes discussion of science-literature interconnections
with new topics, ideas and angles, by organizing genuine dialogue among
participants across disciplinary lines.
The essays explore how
scientific thought and practices are conditioned by narrative and genre,
fiction, models and metaphors, and how science in turn feeds into the
meaning-making of literary and philosophical texts. These
interdisciplinary encounters enrich reflections on epistemology,
cognition and aesthetics.
