In The Case of Literature , Arne H cker offers a radical reassessment of the modern European literary canon.
His reinterpretations of Goethe, Schiller, B chner, D blin, Musil, and Kafka show how literary and scientific narratives have determined each other over the past three centuries, and he argues that modern literature not only contributed to the development of the human sciences but also established itself as the privileged medium for a modern style of case-based reasoning.
