THE INFLUENCE OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF SPACE AND TIME ON LITERARY FICTION

Abstract

The interplay between the philosophical concepts of space and time and literary fiction offers a profound exploration of human existence, perception, and creativity. This article examines how space and time, as foundational elements of philosophical inquiry, shape the structure, themes, and characters in literary works. Drawing on examples from classical and modern literature, this study highlights the ways in which authors use spatial and temporal dynamics to enhance narrative depth and engage readers in a multidimensional experience. By bridging philosophy and literature, the article provides a nuanced understanding of how these abstract constructs influence storytelling across cultures and epochs.
