Arendt, relating the self to the stories our actions create, will explore reflection’s formative characteristics. The radical form of The Waves will reveal how matter stabilizes human life and how groups of humans can create, share and suspend common illusion. In concert, these notions will demonstrate an epistemological disconnect between our self and reality. Woolf along with Hannah Arendt will consider thought's relationship to language and the will. Wittgenstein's refutation of the linguistic contentions in Plato’s Cratylus will outline language’s relationship to reality and how Woolf rejects Platonic Forms. I want to reframe this notion, considering Woolf's moments of unity, not as a metafictional tool, but as a rebellion against the insensitive and inaccessible natural world. Woolfian Scholars regularly denote the moments where Woolf’s characters feel inexplicably connected and inseparable from one another as representing the spiritual and mystic beliefs of their author. ![]() ![]() Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.
