After a discussion of the historical and critical context of Kafkas Zürau aphorisms, this thesis explores one aphorism that describes mankind's ongoing state of deception, using it as a guide for interpreting the entire collection and thereby ultimately finding and following what Kafka suggests as a solution to this deception, the Way. Finding and following the Way requires synthesizing conflicting interpretations of single aphorisms, reconciling contradictory interpretations of multiple aphorisms, and discovering the commentary provided by aphorisms that were added to the collection at a later time. Each of these methods is exemplified before concluding with the final aphorism of the collection and its suggestions for continuing on the Way.
