THE SELF IN MORAL SPACE: LIFE NARRATIVE AND THE GOOD

Book ID/图书代码： 03360007B11147

English Summary/英文概要： David Parker examines a range of classic and contemporary autobiographies--including those of St. Augustine, William Wordsworth, Friedrich Nietzsche, Roland Barthes, and J. M. Coetzee--to reveal a whole domain of life narrative that has been previously ignored, one that enables a new approach to the question of what constitutes a "good" life narrative. Moving from an ethics toward an aesthetics of life writing, Parker follows Wittgenstein’s view that ethics and aesthetics are one. he argues, faces readers with the perennial ethical question How should a human being live? We need a new reconstructive paradigm, as offered by this book, in order to gain a fuller understanding of life narrative and its humanistic potential.
