Yon Fawcett's "The Seven Parts" is his representative work after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, consisting of three novels, seven chapters, and a narrative time of seven days. The novel focuses on the inner monologue of the painter 'I', exploring the relationship between humans and gods, the essence of art, and life and death. Fosser regards writers as God's voice transcribers, emphasizing that writing is an act of listening. The Seven Chapters showcases Fauser's "mystical realism" style, influenced by the medieval mystic master Eckhart, and presents the process of modern spiritual practitioners examining their inner selves. Fusser uses psychological realism techniques to depict the "I" who is one with God, revealing the process of self actualization, which is the unity with God. To understand Foucault's mystical realism, one needs to understand the debate between medieval realism and nominalism. Eckhart reconciled the two and affirmed the true existence of God. Fosser's works pursue truth, viewing mystical realism as mystical realism, emphasizing that truth is a concrete and real existence.

My Soul Painting Theory and Eckhart's Soul View

Explored the connection between the painting philosophy of the protagonist "I" in Fosser's novel "The Seven Parts" and Eckhart's view of the soul. The novel portrays dissatisfaction with traditional realistic landscape painting and identification with expressionist painting through the perspective of "me", emphasizing that artistic creation should originate from the soul rather than simple visual replication. The protagonist "I" pursues an artistic expression that transcends reality and touches the depths of the soul, which is in line with the expressionist painting style of Hedwig. The painting concept of 'I' was deeply influenced by Master Eckhart, who believed that the soul is a combination of reason and divinity. By examining and emptying oneself, the soul can return to its essence and merge with divinity. This process is not only the source of artistic creation, but also the way for individuals to seek connection with divinity. The Seven Part Classic depicts how modern people achieve the unity of soul and divinity through introspection and self abandonment through inner monologue and omniscient narration, reflecting the characteristics of mystical realism.

Me and Asli: The Secret of Separation and Fusion

Explored the identity division and fusion between "I" and Asli in the Seven Part Classic, revealing the relationship between self and reality. In the novel, 'I' live a life of abstinence and possess the mystical 'clairvoyance' ability, able to see scriptures appear before my eyes like images. This introspective approach embodies Eckhart's advocacy of using the highest rationality of God to examine an individual's knowledge, emotions, and intentions. The novel presents the speculation that "I" and "Asli" may be the same person through a dual perspective narrative of "I see/think" and "Asli sees/thinks". There is a difference in social relationships between 'I' and 'Asli', as names have lost their function of confirming the subject. Through this narrative style, Fauser reveals the characteristic that the self is both a subject and an object. The formation process of self-awareness affirms subjective experience and implies the possibility of removing self centeredness. I form social relationships in my interactions with others, become an object of self-awareness, and thus experience myself.

The existence of selflessness and truth

In depth exploration of the relationship between the self abandonment of "me" and the existence of truth in the Seven Part Classic. Through the teachings of Eckhart and his disciple Suso, the process of letting go of self subjectivity and making the highest reason the subject is elucidated. The monologue of 'I' in the book is divided into memories of family and friends, concerns about Asli, and reflections on the art of life, demonstrating the transformation of 'I' from being fixated on what has been lost to actively giving up. Fosser depicted the tension and exhaustion of "me" through his inner monologue and clairvoyance, as well as the metaphor of "me" shuttling back and forth between the old house and Bergen. In the end, 'I' let go of myself in the struggle against 'my obsession', packed up my painting tools, promised to celebrate Christmas with Ascic, attend Mass, and go to the Gurro house with Ascic. At the end of Chapter 7, the inner monologue of 'me' gradually loses consciousness, implying letting go of oneself and sinking into the abyss. Eckhart compared people with empty selves to "spiritually poor people" and believed that such people could become sanctuaries for God's work. Fosser refuses to use periods throughout the book and emphasizes the theme of eternal reincarnation. The book portrays the intersection of the past and the future in the present through the movement trajectory and way of speaking of 'me'. Fosser sees religion and art as avenues for pursuing truth, believing that truth/divinity is a universal reality. The realism of "The Seven Part Classic" is related to realism, which regards abstract concepts and relationships as reality, similar in form to modernist novels, but spiritually oriented towards pre modern epistemology and values. The Nobel Prize Committee recognizes the speculative rationality in Fosser's works, believing that it has spiritual and existential appeal.
