Here is the long awaited lineup for Bence Nanay’s issue for The Monist (97:1 Jan 2014).
Bence Nanay
The Dethroning of Ideocracy: Robert Musil as a Philosopher
Robert Musil was not a professional philosopher. He was a novelist— and according to the widely accepted canon, his contribution to the twentieth-century novel is only matched by very few. Why then should there be a special issue on him in The Monist? The reason is that Musil was a philosopher—just a different kind of philosopher. He was trained in philosophy (he wrote his Ph.D. on Ernst Mach) and gave up a promising career in academia, turning down a job offer in Meinong’s department because he thought it better to express his philosophical ideas by means of writing novels.
