Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Ethics, Evil, and Fiction brings together moral philosophy and literary analysis in a way that offers original new insights for both. Its central aim is to enrich the domain of moral reflection, by showing the value of literary texts as sources of moral illumination. Colin McGinn starts by setting out an uncompromisingly realist ethical theory, arguing that morality is an area of objective truth and genuine knowledge. He goes on to address such subjects asthe nature of goodness, evil character, and the meaning of monstrosity, in the context of an aesthetic theory of virtue, which maintains that goodness of character is the same thing as beauty of soul. Worksdiscussed include Billy Budd, Lolita, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Frankenstein; and McGinn draws upon examples from film and painting as well as literature. The originality of his approach, the clarity and forthrightness of his writing, and his conviction that fiction and philosophy have much enlightenment to offer each other, make this a compelling and fascinating book. Ethics, Evil, and Fiction brings together moral philosophy and literary analysis. Examining the relations between morality, art, and beauty, McGinn argues that morality is an area of objective truth and genuine knowledge; and shows the value of literary texts as sources of moral illumination. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
