Multiperspektivität in der modernen Erkenntnistheorie und Erzählkunst

This paper reconstructs the concept of multiperspectivity in modern philosophical epistemology in the first part and it gives a narratological account of modern German novels in the second part. Following the Enlightenment historiographer Chladenius, it demonstrates that history dissolves into many divergent stories told by contemporary witnesses and that it is the historiographer’s task to recomposes history from these stories. Following the classical philologist and modernist philosopher Nietzsche, it reconstructs the skeptical philosophy of language and the theory of multiperspectivity. On the basis of these historiographical and linguistic considerations, it argues that classical modernist novels by Alfred Döblin, Robert Musil and Hermann Broch, Franz Kafka and Thomas Mann feature simultaneous multiperspectivity by contrast to earlier novels from the age of Goethe and poetic realism in the 19th century with their sequential multiperspectivity.
