Literature and Moral Feeling - A Cognitive Poetics of Ethics, Narrative, and Empathy - Patrick Colm Hogan - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press

Description

In an original study, Patrick Colm Hogan brings the insights of global comparative literature to bear on central issues of ethics. A compelling, narrative-based explanation of humans' otherwise baffling array of ethical attitudes, this book also offers a thought-provoking defence of particular ethical norms, based on a re-understanding of empathy.
