Ethics, Evil, and Fiction

By Colin Mcginn

0 - Default Title
Description
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 as the 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.
