内容説明
In our time, philosophers have tried to distance themselves from stories and narrative, while literary critics have tried to divorce themselves from morals. Morals and stories have been separated as a result, and their obvious connections ignored. Tobin Sieber's essay insists that morals and stories are inseparable and that literature should have a place in our thinking about the world. The book holds that "literature is a form of knowledge about moral character and how it fits into the social world", and that "we may use stories to build character and to transform it".
