Morals and Stories

"Morals and Stories" holds that literature is a form of knowledge about moral character and how it fits into the social world, and that stories are vital to building and transforming character. Siebers examines a variety of authors from Plato, Homer, and Aesop to Austen and Tolstoy; philosophers such as Kant, Arendt, and Williams; and literary critics such as Jameson and Kristeva to show how literature reflects our knowledge of the world just as philosophy does. Siebers includes charming stories and poignant narratives to show how both are needed, deriving morals from stories, to teach ourselves ethics.Siebers, Tobin is the author of 'Morals and Stories' with ISBN 9780231078467 and ISBN 0231078463.
