The Tension between Truth and Illusion in "Tender is the Night"

Exploring the tension between truth and fantasy is a common concern in American literature in the 20th century. Compare the treatment of this theme with "Tender is the Night" and at least one other related text you encountered. "Tender is the Night" is a novel proof that the appearance of a hero appearing at the beginning of a novel is fantastic. The illusion that obscures the dirty truth and causes people to come up with luxurious front lines to hide their inner problems.

"Perceived problems are no longer truths or illusions but different modes of reality, in the emergence of empirical form ... (energy) refers to the perceptual reality that we are related to materiality Meanwhile, abstract meaningless reality contained in perceptual reality, and its directness are exaggerated, "Brian Massumi," Conceptual Virtualization "," Oxford Virtual Handbook "(2014)

I am working on the era of truth and political relations. At the heart of these two articles is to emphasize the opposite between truth and lies and to replace the common distinction between truth and fantasy or error. For Alento, the former is much more important to human reality than to the latter. The reality is made up of subjects, and fraud destroys the publicity of worldly appearance. In other words, the main difficulty here is to think about yourself - that language is entirely metaphorical, its conceptual framework completely depends on the gift of the metaphor, that is to say the gap between tangible and intangible Hide - The appearance world and the self of thinking - No metaphor can reasonably illuminate the special activities of this heart that we can not see what is invisible in the world.

Modern culture shows two attitudes to the truth: I doubt the suspicion of being cheated (not wanting to be cheated) and the existence of objective truth (nobody wants to be simple). This tension between authenticity request and doubt of truth is not an abstract paradox. It has a political influence and indicates the danger that our intellectual activities, especially in the humanities sciences, may break apart. Williams' method is based on Nietzsche's genealogical tradition combining philosophy, history, and fictitious assertions about how humans pay attention to the truth. He denies the truth as intellectual and cultural value without denying that he should be worried about accidentality that seems obvious. He has identified the two basic beauties, accuracy and honesty of truth. One is finding the truth and the other is explaining the truth.
