Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the issues of immanentism and contextualism concerning the literary and critical work of Marcel Proust. First, it compares several authors’ works and notes Proust’s methods in interpreting works of art. Then, based on Proust’s thought, it problematizes the temporality of art, the relation of art to social reality, and the author’s biography. From this position, I believe I can approach the core of Proust’s aesthetics more systematically than if I had stayed with the psychology of art or analyses of memory or the aesthetic situation
