Setting out to enrich the domain of moral reflection by showing the value of literary texts as sources of moral illumination  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. Looking at such literary works as Billy Budd  Lolita  The Picture of Dorian Gray  and Frankenstein  as well as examples from film and painting  Ethics  Evil  and Fiction is an original and compelling book by a leading philosopher who is also a critic and novelist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648011132981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0198238770","price":37.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198238775.jpg?v=1781706237","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ethics-evil-and-fiction-9780198238775","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
