Now, in volume 2, he examines these relations in fiction and theories of literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRicoeur treats the question of just how far the Aristotelian concept of \"plot\" in narrative fiction can be expanded and whether there is a point at which narrative fiction as a literary form not only blurs at the edges but ceases to exist at all. Though some semiotic theorists have proposed all fiction can be reduced to an atemporal structure, Ricoeur argues that fiction depends on the reader's understanding of narrative traditions, which do evolve but necessarily include a temporal dimension. He looks at how time is actually expressed in narrative fiction, particularly through use of tenses, point of view, and voice. He applies this approach to three books that are, in a sense, tales about time: Virgina Woolf's \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway;\u003c\/i\u003e Thomas Mann's \u003ci\u003eMagic Mountain;\u003c\/i\u003e and Marcel Proust's \u003ci\u003eRemembrance of Things Past\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Ricoeur writes the best kind of philosophy--critical, economical, and clear.\"--Eugen Weber, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A major work of literary theory and criticism under the aegis of philosophical hermenutics.
