Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allan, who teaches philosophy in Stratford-upon-Avon, seeks a coalition of philosophy and literature in the work of Kafka (1883-1924), beginning with a grounding of his output in the philosophical context from which it emerged. He explores how the German writer's texts were influenced by the descriptive psychology of Franz Brentano and its attendant agendas of logic, Gestalt psychology, and a nascent form of phenomenology. He also identifies Kafka's aesthetic exploitation of such positions, and surveys the post-structuralist response to his work. Annotation :2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
