{"product_id":"post-war-british-fiction-as-metaphysical-ethography","title":"Post-war British Fiction as ‘Metaphysical Ethography’","description":"The Second World War marked an ethical turn in British fiction. The author of this study demonstrates this by closely examining John Fowles’s and Iris Murdoch’s works as post-war meta-textual magical-realist novels interested in ethics and the nature of contemporary reality. These ethical novels transcend mere morality to explore the essence of the Good. Through paradigms of human experience, they direct our attention towards the Other and impart moral principles based on acts of Goodness.\u003cbr\u003e The author assesses the moral intimations in Fowles’s \u003ci\u003eThe Magus \u003c\/i\u003eand Murdoch’s \u003ci\u003eThe Sea, the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e in the context of their philosophical writings, mainly \u003ci\u003eThe Aristos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMetaphysics as a Guide to Morals\u003c\/i\u003e respectively. She shows that Fowles and Murdoch endeavour to instruct the reader morally through the accessible language of fiction.","brand":"Verlag Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223104082264,"sku":"9783039107117","price":78.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783039107117.jpg?v=1777085163","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/post-war-british-fiction-as-metaphysical-ethography","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
