The search for reality in Kafka. Literature and Philosophy

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to focus Kafka’s work on the problem of reality, immanent if every reference is to the everyday, transcendent when something beyondis desired. The castle – the realm of possibility – will depend only on the village – therealm of the effective – when the insight does not know how to go further. It will beseen that Kafka’s way of understanding language resembles that of Wittgenstein: thetwo come from the problem of the entity of objects, the two understand that things live in those games in which they make sense. Denial is a way of affirmation. Reality,virtual reality above all, is to be supported by its own non-existence.
