- W105763168 abstract "This thesis is an examination of the moment of apperception,a special form of insight, which occurs frequently in the novelsof Henry James, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, and James Joyce.Such moments are not confined to modern literature and I discussearlier examples which derive from a variety of intellectualtraditions. The marked frequency of such moments in modernliterature can, I believe, be traced to the new thinking inpsychology and philosophy in the late nineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries, which emphasizes the role of the unconsciousmind and stresses the way the individual conditions his responses.I use the term 'apperception', after Leibnitz and Kant, toindicate the way the self informs these moments. I also trace thedevelopment of this thinking for the light it throws upon themoments in the novels.Henry James's novels offer many examples of such moments.Most occur at the level of personal and social relationshipsand are highly qualified by the previous experiences andpreconceptions of the characters. Some suggest pathologicalstates of mind. James employs a series of elaborate devices topresent the moments.There are a number of examples in Virginia Woolf's novels of moments of apperception into self and other. But there area greater number which present apparent insights into extremesof experience. The moments represent the attempts, and thefieeds,of the characters, to recreate experience in terms of their ownpersonalities.E. M. Forster's characters, at least in the first four novels,experience moments of apperception into qualities of the universe,into themselves, and into others. Often, in these early novels,the responses seem conventional and highly rhetorical in presentation.Once again, the moments seem to be the products of the perceiver'smind. In A Passage to India, however, the treatment is far moresearching. Various approaches to the truth are tried but noneyields a final answer.James Joyce proceeds, from his notion of the epiphany, topresent epiphanies unknown to the characters which reveal significantqualities to others and to the reader. He also presents epiphaniesof which they are conscious. These are moments of apperception.The techniques of presentation are especially important in Joyce.They are not only the medium of the apperception but in a sensethe apperception.The moments of apperception as presented by the four novelistsalso throw light upon such apperceptions as they may themselveshave experienced. Although no final objective truth may be attained,a study of these moments yields other satisfactions and suggestsat least an approach to more objective ways of thinking." @default.
