- W2023194414 abstract "Gardner places the “person-centered quartet” of personality, self, will, and consciousness at the heart of what remains of psychology after the flanks have been hived off into neurobiology, cognitive science, and cultural studies. The diagnosis is bleak, however; according to Gardner, the heart that remains is a weak and stunted one; here progress has been slow and important insights thin on the ground. The solution is literature; a garnering by psychologists of the rich repository of insights about human nature and an exploratory collaboration of workers in the two areas. Our comments focus on Gardner’s literary solution to his version of the malaise of psychology. Gardner’s view of the nature of literature fits into a long tradition of understanding in which Emile Zola is perhaps the most celebrated example. Zola thought of literature as a social laboratory in which characters could be invented and then sent on trajectories through psychological crises to enable their reactions to be explored (Merrill, 1967). I n recent literary theory this general view is known as expressive realism: “the theory that literature reflects the reality of experience as it is perceived by one (especially gifted) individual, who expresses it in a discourse which enables other individuals to recognize it as true” (Belsey, 1980, p.7). Gardner’s references to Rorty and Geertz incorporate traces of a form of literary theorizing into his solution which forcibly reject this notion of reading and literature-but this radical alternative is never formulated. Instead he is content to suggest that literature is a “rich repository of information” capturing “crucial insights”." @default.
