Description
In The Philosophy of Virginia Woolf, philosopher Thomas Nail uncovers the deep and often overlooked philosophical dimensions of one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century. Rather than treating Woolf solely as a novelist, Nail shows how her writings—fictional, autobiographical, and critical—present a rich, original philosophical worldview. At the heart of Woolf’s philosophy, Nail argues, is movement. Drawing on process philosophy, feminism, and literary modernism, he shows how Woolf’s reflections on time, consciousness, identity, gender, and perception revolve around a dynamic, fluid reality. Woolf’s prose, far from being merely aesthetic, is itself a philosophical practice—exploring becoming, relationality, and the instability of the self. Through close readings of novels like Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and The Waves, as well as Woolf’s essays and diaries, Nail reveals her commitment to a world in flux—a world best understood not through fixed categories but through continuous transformation. This book bridges philosophy and literature, offering both scholars and general readers a fresh way to understand Woolf—not just as a literary icon, but as a thinker whose insights continue to shape how we understand life, art, and the self.
