Outline and Purpose of the Course	Not solving the problem, but stating the problem correctly. This "literary objectivity" is widely known as a feature of Chekhov's study of poetry. However, the specific mechanisms of texts that make objectivity possible have by no means been fully clarified. In this course, we will focus on Chekhov's use of rhetoric, which depended on scientific objectivity when he talked about his own literary objectivity, and study specific texts that have particular affinity with the theory of evolution. We will also discuss the state of the inheritance of innovation in Chekhov's study of poetry.
Course Goals	(1) Understand the origins and specific textual appearances of the "literary objectivity" that forms the foundations of Chekhov's study of poetry. (2) Cultivate abilities to read, understand, and study literary works.
Schedule and Contents	This class will have lectures on the following topics. The brackets show the number of class sessions dedicated to each topic, which may vary depending on student comprehension. As is typical of an intensive course, the sequence of topics and sub-topics, as well as the number of class sessions for each, are not set in stone and may be subject to change depending on students' background and understanding. The lecture format will be indicated as appropriate, and will take care to ensure that students arrive at a full understanding of the topic.
