Fables of Responsibility: Aberrations and Predicaments in Ethics and Politics (Meridian Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The book is driven by a sense that literary and theoretical questions, and the ideas or concepts they appeal to or provoke, play a critical role in the way we think about and experience politics, but that literary critics and theorists do far too little to understand those links or make them matter outside a very restricted sphere. The author seeks to harness this specialized discourse in order to consider what ethical and political thinking might learn from literature and its theorists; from the difficult burdens that literature places on its readers and the unusual transformations it can enact in our language, the very medium of our shared life.
